“You felt your Second”

The mid-nineteenth century saw a rapid shift in the availability of clocks and watches in the United States, and the resulting proliferation of timepieces provoked the twin anxieties of fine temporal incrementalization and inadequate attempts at synchronization. These anxieties colluded to render small time increments fraught units of experience, not only in relation to large systems like the railroad but also in private spaces and in solitude. In Emily Dickinson’s poems most explicitly about timekeeping, she both depicts the visceral, lonely entrapment of small time increments and works to offer release from such isolation by crafting alternative temporal spaces, and by forging communities to inhabit those spaces together—apart from, but not incognizant of, time’s immediacy as it ticks within the public apparatus of timekeeping. Dickinson’s temporal sociality in these poems belies some of the strongest generic claims about how, and when, her poems address readers, future or otherwise. Many of Dickinson’s poems do not narrow into the singular space of a lyric or historic now but rather take the experience of such narrow immediacy and open it outward into a communal space, pulling a “we” into temporal structures of camaraderie that are decidedly, purposively other than a singular lyric moment or a singular historical moment.
