As you know, or at least you should if you are active with Poetica Victorian, we have been hosting polls on both our blog and home page. The polls have ranged from opinions on our website to readers' favorite genre of writing.
One of five polls we hosted on our website was the "Who's your favorite Victorian Poet?" poll. The choices were between the following Victorian-Classical Poets:
-Alfred Lord Tennyson
-Emily Dickinson
-Rudyard Kipling
-Charlotte Bronte
and
-Robert Browning
17 votes on the poll came in so far (from both our home page and blog poll featuring the same question), and out of those votes
0 went to Charlotte Bronte
1 went to Rudyard Kipling
2 went to Robert Browning
3 went to Alfred Lord Tennyson
and 11 went to Emily Dickinson
It is obvious to us from these results that our readers love Emily Dickinson (maybe just as much as we do. If you haven't noticed she is our representative Victorian poet with her poem Chartless). So we have decided based on these results to do something special based on Emily Dickinson. But we're not telling yet! You'll have to come back soon to find out about our Emily Dickinson themed suprise, here on the blog.
