Signature Gilded Editions

Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, into a prominent family. Dickinson briefly attended the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's home, spending the majority of her life in isolation and only corresponding with friends through letters. While she is regarded as one of the most prominent figures in American poetry today, most of her poems were published after her death.

About the Author

While Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly 1,800 poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson’s poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.
