Explore the essence of life, love, nature, and time in exquisite
verse with this elegantly designed edition of Emily Dickinson’s
finest poems. Born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a
prominent New England family and educated at Amherst Academy and
Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson lived most
of her life in seclusion, devoted to writing. She scarcely left
home, nor did she have many visitors. Only ten of her poems were
published in her lifetime, submitted without her permission by
friends. It was only after her death in 1886 that the scope of her
work as a poet came to light—over 1,700 poems were discovered in
a dresser drawer by her sister, Lavinia. Emily Dickinson’s poems
reflect her loneliness, as well as her love of nature, the
influence of the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth century England,
and her strong Puritan religious beliefs. Yet, it is her use of
language, form, and the deceptive simplicity of her verse that
categorize her as an important force in nineteenth century American
letters and, along with Walt Whitman, a founder of a distinctly
American voice in modern poetry. PRELUDE THIS is my letter to the
world, That never wrote to me,— That simple news that Nature
told, With tender majesty. Her message is committed To hands I
cannot see; For love of her, sweet countrymen, Judge tenderly of
me! The Timeless Classics series from Rock Point brings together

unabridged, these elegantly designed gift editions feature luxe,
patterned endpapers, ribbon markers, and foil and deboss details on
