The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson collects the nearly eighteen hundred poems of one of America's greatest and most original poets. Dickinson lived largely in seclusion in Amherst, Massachusetts, and published only a handful of poems in her lifetime. After her death in 1886, her sister discovered a trove of her work, which was gradually published over the following decades. Her poems are short and compressed, marked by slant rhyme, unconventional capitalization, and her characteristic dashes. She wrote with startling originality about death, immortality, nature, the soul, love, and the limits of language and knowledge. Familiar lines such as Because I could not stop for Death and Hope is the thing with feathers appear here. This complete edition lets readers encounter the full range of her singular imagination in one volume.
