Dickinson s poetry is remarkable for its tightly controlled emotional and intellectual energy.
When her Poems finally appeared after her death, readers immediately recognized an artist whose immense depth and stylistic complexities would one day make her the most widely recognized female poet to write in the English language.
Only a handful of her 1, 775 Poems had been published during her lifetime.
She spent most of her time working on her poetry, largely without encouragement or real interest from her family and peers, and died at age fifty-five.
However, in her mid-twenties she began to grow reclusive, and eventually she rarely descended from her room in her father s house.
Born in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1830, Dickinson began life as an energetic, outgoing young woman who excelled as a student.
