One of the most striking American lyric poet, Emily Dickinson came to be known only after she passed away.
This collectable edition brings together her finest poems including ‘ Heart! We will forget him!’ (47), ‘ Success is counted sweetest’ (67), ‘ “ Hope” is the thing with feathers’ (254), ‘ I’ m Nobody! Who are you?’ (288), ‘ The Soul selects her own Society’ (303), ‘ I measure every Grief I meet’ (561), ‘ Because I could not stop for Death’ (712), ‘ My Life had stood — a Loaded Gun’ (754), and ‘ Rearrange a “ Wife’ s” affection!’ (1737).
Dickinson did not give titles to her poems. They are known either by the first line of the poem or the numbers allotted to them in the Thomas H. Johnson’ s edition, The Poems of Emily Dickinson. We have used the numbers to identify the poems.
A specimen of her exquisite craftsmanship, each poem gives an insight into Dickinson’ s life and the emotions she experienced. "
