I couldn't agree with you more. Attempting dry humor failed. Rather condescending in my opinion but the pictures were enjoyable.

"Recently, we came across this collection of family artifacts from the Dickinson family estate, curated by Harvard University, and we’ve been pouring over them ever since." "Pouring" what -- coffee? tea? maple syrup? The writer should "pore" over some information about Emily Dickinson that avoids cliche and dispels the stereotypes.

 ". . . her experiences were so limited" is the statement of an incompetent ir perhaps merely a lazy reporter.
