The Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson, poet of the interior life, imagined words/swords, hurling barbed syllables/piercing. Nothing about her adult appearance or habitation revealed such a militant soul. Only poems, written quietly in a room of her own, often hand-stitched in small volumes, then hidden in a drawer, revealed her true self. She did not live in time but in universals—an acute, sensitive nature reaching out boldly from self-referral to a wider, imagined world. Dickinson died without fame; only a few poems were published in her lifetime. Her legacy was later rescued from her desk—an astonishing body of work, much of which has since appeared in piecemeal editions, sometimes with words altered by ed...

Emily Dickinson: Notes on All Her Poems
David Preest: "I have been reading the poems of Emily Dickinson since 1974, when I came across The Life of Emily Dickinson by Richard B. Sewall, a book which is still probably the best introduction to the poet. As I read her poems, first in The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Thomas H. Johnson of 1970 and later in The Poems of Emily Dickinson by R.W. Franklin of 1999, and at the same time read books about her life and poetry, there seemed one gap in this literature. There was no commentary of brief notes attempting to explain all her poems. This is the gap which this guide attempts to fill.In making these notes I have consulted the works of previous scholars, explained the context of those many poems which were originally parts of letters written by her, and, where necessary, made my own guess at the meaning of a poem. I believe the facts are correct, even if the guess at an interpretation is wrong. But as Emily herself once said in a letter to her sister-in-law, 'In a life that stopped guessing, you and I should not feel at home (L586).'"

The Letters of Emily Dickinson
One of the Top 10 "Books We Love" --Fresh Air The definitive edition of Emily Dickinson's correspondence, expanded and revised for the first time in over sixty years. Emily Dickinson was a letter writer before she was a poet. And it was through letters that she shared prose reflections--alternately humorous, provocative, affectionate, and philosophical--with her extensive community. While her letters often contain poems, and some letters consist entirely of a single poem, they also constitute a rich genre all their own. Through her correspondence, Dickinson appears in her many facets as a reader, writer, and thinker; social commentator and comedian; friend, neighbor, sister, and daughter. Th...
A Historical Guide to Emily Dickinson
One of America's most celebrated women, Emily Dickinson was virtually unpublished in her own time and unknown to the public at large. Yet since the first publication of a limited selection of her poems in 1890, she has emerged as one of the most challenging and rewarding writers of all time. Born into a prosperous family in small town Amherst, Massachusetts, she had an above average education for a woman, attending a private high school and then Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, now Mount Holyoke College. Returning to Amherst to her loving family and her "feast" in the reading line, in the 1850s she became increasingly solitary and after the Civil War she spent her life indoors. Despite her coo...
