Emily Dickinson's Poem 'I Dwell In Possibility'

In the poem, I Dwell in Possibility the Author Emily Dickinson starts off about this big and beautiful house. The Author says the house is a fairer house than prose, she's actually talking about poetry and how fairer it is than this ‘prose’. The speaker doesn't use the word poetry specifically, but she does say that wherever she lives is better than "Prose." The author says she dwells in Possibility. Meaning she lives in a world full of poetry.

Emily is using the word possibility as another word for poetry. I Dwell In Possibility means She Lives in a World full of poetry. It could also mean she’s living in a world of possibility. That anything is possible in the world. Even the things that seem impossible, can be possible. Dickinson
