Description: Explore the essence of life love nature and time in exquisite verse with this elegantly designed edition of Emily Dickinson's finest poems. Born in 1830 in Amherst Massachusetts to a prominent New England family and educated at Amherst Academy and Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary Emily Elizabeth Dickinson lived most of her life in seclusion devoted to writing. She scarcely left home nor did she have many visitors. Only ten of her poems were published in her lifetime submitted without her permission by friends. It was only after her death in 1886 that the scope of her work as a poet came to light over 1,700 poems were discovered in a dresser drawer by her sister Lavinia. Emily Dickinson's poems reflect her loneliness as well as her love of nature the influence of the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth century England and her strong Puritan religious beliefs. Yet it is her use of language form and the deceptive simplicity of her verse that categorize her as an important force in nineteenth century American letters and along with Walt Whitman a founder of a distinctly American voice in modern poetry. Prelude THIS is my letter to the world That never wrote to me That simple news that Nature told With tender majesty. Her message is committed To hands I cannot see; For love of her sweet countrymen Judge tenderly of me!
