Emily Dickinson: bibliography and biography
American · 1830–1886
Emily Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems in near-total seclusion in Amherst, Massachusetts, and published fewer than a dozen of them in her lifetime, usually anonymously and without her consent.
Her poems have no titles of her own choosing — they circulate by first line — and are built on short, hymn-like stanzas, slant rhyme and dashes that break the line mid-thought.
