The Pocket Emily Dickinson

By Emily Dickinson & Brenda Hillman
The Pocket Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson & Brenda Hillman digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Considered by many to be the spiritual mother of American poetry, Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) was one of the most prolific and innovative poets of her era. Well-known for her reclusive personal life in Amherst, Massachusetts , her distinctively short lines, and eccentric approach to punctuation and capitalization, she completed over seventeen hundred poems in her short life. Though fewer than a dozen of her poems were actually published during her lifetime, she is still one of the most widely read poets in the English language. Over one hundred of her best poems are collected here.
