Disguising her individuality as a luxurious wildcat"

"I tie my Hat—I crease my Shawl—
Life's little duties do—precisely— '"

~Emily Dickinson, 443

 

Artwork by Theresa Taylor Bayer

"I had searched store after store,
Nothing fit, in a whole world of hats and hatmakers
Nothing had been made for me."

~William Dickey, Hat

 

Artwork by Diane Ursin

"The hat lady came with a fan of pins in her mouth
and pins in her sleeves,
The hat lady came- that Saint Sebastian of pins,
To measure my mother's head."

~Linda Pastan, The Hat Lady

Artwork by Anne Launius Berbling

"Great Hat, you are some size I have not
hitherto lived up into, some consequence
I have been expecting in my secret room.
You are the personality of an idea."

~William Dickey, Hat

Artwork by Theresa Taylor Bayer

"I remember a hat of dove-grey felt
that settled like a bird
on the nest of my mother's hair."

~Linda Pastan, The Hat Lady

Artwork by Sue Perez

"Feeling nervy? Wear a hat.
Got the scurvy? Wear a hat.
Vision blurry? Wear a hat.
Tongue feel furry? Wear a hat."

~Pamela Randolph, Wear a Hat

 

Artwork by Karen Vesk

"She kept them high on the top shelf
In boxes big as drums-
Bright crescent-shaped boats
With little fishnets dangling down."

~Robert Hedin, My Mother's Hats

Artwork by Christine E. S. Code

"I stared at art's silk violet
In wild Roberta's flirting hat.
A worldly, risking, spun bouquet
Of nun-capped blossoms, real to me."

~Stephen Stepanchev, A Flirting Hat

Artwork by Sue Perez

"It is hard even to admit this theory of hats, that to wear
The faithless one brimmed tightly over the eyes-
The featherless and discreet one, a hat with a secret code..."

~David Biespiel, The Theory of Hats

Artwork by Theresa Taylor Bayer

"A hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace
So that nobody ever could see the face."

~Edward Lear, The Quangle Wangle's Hat

Artwork by Diana Mae Potts
