Embarrassment of One Another - fact Summary
Published in 1929 Edition
This short Emily Dickinson poem appeared posthumously in the 1929 volume Poems by Emily Dickinson, Series 2. Its compressed lines stage a theological reflection: human embarrassment limits speech about the divine, yet something essential of divinity remains "under a seal." Knowing the poem reached readers in the 1929 edition situates it within the early twentieth-century reception that shaped Dickinson’s public reputation and editorial framing.
