The richest and most authoritative selected volume of Emily Dickinson’s poems.

Here is the best of Emily Dickinson’s poetry — 576 poems that fully and fairly represent not only the complete range of Dickinson’s poetic genius but also the complexity of her personality, the fluctuation of her mood, and the development of her style. Final Harvest is the first selected volume of Dickinson’s work that draws from all 1,775 of her poems — poems of such startling originality that they were doomed to obscurity in Dickinson’s own lifetime.

“We have had to wait more than a century and a quarter for Final Harvest, the first truly selected poems of Emily Dickinson…In its own and special way, this book stands like a monument at the end of a very long road in literary history.” —Christian Science Monitor

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.
