The Poems of Emily Dickinson

More about the book

Emily Dickinson's poetry, though abundant, remained largely unpublished during her lifetime, with only a few pieces released and often altered by publishers to conform to traditional standards. Despite her contemporaries likely knowing of her work, it was not until after her death in 1886 that her sister Lavinia uncovered the extensive collection of nearly eighteen hundred poems, revealing the depth of Dickinson's unique voice and unconventional style.
