Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
(December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet whose 
work became widely known and critically acclaimed after her death. She spent most of her life as a 
recluse in her Amherst, Massachusetts home. After her death in 1886 her younger sister Lavinia 
discovered her poems, and in 1890 Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Louis Todd 
published a heavily edited collection of her poems. A complete edition was not published until 
1955, and an edition arranged in the way she originally arranged her poems was not published until 
1981. There were initially unfavorable reviews and skepticism of her literary prowess during the 
late 19th and early 20th century, but now Dickinson is considered a major American 
poet. Dickinson’s poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, 
typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and 
punctuation. Some scholars have suggested that the numerous letters and poems that were dedicated 
to Susan Gilbert Dickinson indicate a lesbian romance, but this is difficult to verify as Lavinia and 
Susan burned some of Emily’s letters, as Emily had asked them to. Emily Dickinson’s complete 
poems are available in English in The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson 
and Thomas H. Johnson.
