A Narrow Fellow in the Grass
Emily Dickinson
1866
Introduction
A Narrow Fellow in the Grass
is believed to have been written in 1865. A year later, it was published anonymously under the title The Snake
in a journal called the Springfield Republican. The natural world is portrayed vividly throughout Dickinson’s work, and this poem closely examines one of nature’s most infamous creatures, the snake.
The poem begins with a description of the shock of encountering a snake. Although the poem’s speaker never actually uses the word snake,
the scene is familiar enough for most readers to relate to it. The snake is almost magical as it moves, ghost-like, through the tall grass. The speaker sees only flashes of the snake’s scaly skin, but there is evidence of its presence as the grass separates in its
