Emily Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the greatest of American poets. The aphoristic style and wit of much of her verse, its irregular rhymes, directness of expression, and startling imagery have had a profound effect on twentieth-century literature. Over a hundred of Dickinson's best poems are collected here. These unique and gemlike lyrics are pure distillations of profound feeling and great intellect. They contain a world of imagination, observation, and precisely articulated spiritual and emotional experience. As editor Brenda Hillman says, this small and succinct collection can serve as a guidebook to readers who are exploring the highs and lows of the human experience.

About Emily Dickinson

One of the most significant American poets, Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, and spent almost her entire life there in seclusion. She attended Amherst Academy and briefly studied at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. Fewer than a dozen of her poems appeared during her lifetime, but nearly 1,800 were found after her death. Her work uses slant rhyme, dashes, and compressed syntax. Edited versions of her poems appeared beginning in 1890, but they were not printed as she wrote them until Thomas H. Johnson's edition of 1955.
