Poems, Series 1

More about the book

Emily Dickinson's poetry emerges from a deeply personal and reclusive creative process, reflecting her need for self-expression rather than public approval. Isolated for much of her life, she rarely ventured beyond her home, sharing her thoughts with only a select few. While she published only a handful of poems during her lifetime, her prolific writing showcases her unique voice and unconventional style. Dickinson's rigorous self-editing reveals her commitment to a personal literary standard, resulting in verses that challenge conventional norms.
