A. Title of Poem: There Is Another Sky


B. Author of Poem: Emily Dickinson
C. Summary of plot: “There is Another Sky” is a sonnet that depicts the beauty of nature
itself in her described “Garden of Eden” as many call it. However, the poem was written
in conjunction with a letter the writer sent to her brother pleading him to come
back home. She would give anything for him to come back.
D. Statement: In the poem, “There is Another Sky”, Emily Dickinson tries to convince
Austin, who is her brother, to come back from Boston to Amherst. Contextually progressing,
she tells her brother stories of “home”. The first line of the poem itself “There is another sky”
is a metaphor towards expressing “There is another place for you”.

E. Context: Emily Dickinson wrote "There is another sky" in conjunction with a letter she sent to
her brother, Austin. In the poem, she tries to convince Austin to return from Boston to
Amherst. In this context, the poem is about place.
F. Setting : The poem is inside a letter sent to her beloved brother Austin. Hence the setting is
just that; a letter. But contained within are fair skies, light and darkness, forests and fields,
and many other elements of nature. There is Another Sky: Poetic Devices Metaphor: The
poem’s name itself is a metaphor.
G. Theme: Dickinson addresses this theme and others, such as time, aging, and change
within the fourteen lines of this sonnet. ‘There is another sky’ by Emily Dickinson is a
clever and metaphor -rich poem that depicts the poet’s writing as a “garden” with
“unfading flowers”.

Vocabolary:
1. Serene: peaceful, calm
2. Austin: Emily’s younger
3. Frost: When temperature is below 0C a thin layer of ice forms on the ground and other surfaces
4. Unfading: brigth, colourful
5. Prithee: nick name of her brother, Austin
