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
the works of classic authors from around the world. Complete and
unabridged, these elegantly designed gift editions feature luxe,
patterned endpapers, ribbon markers, and foil and deboss details on
vibrantly colored cases. Celebrate these beloved works of
literature as true standouts in your personal library collection.

EMILY DICKINSON: WILD NIGHTS: SELECTED POEMS selected and
introduced by Miriam Chalk
One of the most extraordinary poets of any era, American poetess
Emily Dickinson wrote a huge amount of poetry (nearly 1800 poems).
This book ranges from her early work to the late pieces, and
features many of Dickinson's most famous pieces. This new edition
includes many new poems.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 - May 15, 1886) was
born in Amherst, MA. Much of her later life was led in privacy, in
the family home in Massachusetts. For some, she was a recluse,
famous among locals for wearing white clothes, seldom travelled,
preferred correspondence to meeting people in the esh, and was
known for talking to visitors thru a door. She wrote nearly 1800
poems, but only a few were published during her lifetime.
The poetry of Emily Dickinson is among the strangest, the most
compelling and the most direct in world literature. There is
nothing else quite like it. Dickinson writes in short lyrics, often
just eight lines long, often in regular quatrains, but often in
irregular lines consisting of two half-lines joined in the middle
by a dash (such as: ''Tis Honour - though I die' in "Had I presumed
to hope"). Her subjects appear to be the traditional ones of
poetry, blocked in with capital letters: God, Love, Hope, Time,
Death, Nature, the Sea, the Sun, the World, Childhood, the Past,
History, and so on. Yet what exactly is Dickinson discussing? Who
is the 'I', the 'Thee', the 'we' and the 'you' in her poetry? This
is where things become much more ambiguous. Dickinson is very clear
at times in her poetry, until one considers deeper exactly what she
is saying - but this ambiguity is one of the hallmarks and the
delights of her art.
Includes an introduction, bibliography, notes. ISBN

With an Introduction by Emma Hartnoll. Initially a vivacious,
outgoing person, Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) progressively withdrew
into a reclusive existence. An undiscovered genius during her
lifetime, only seven out of her total of 1,775 poems were published
prior to her death. She had an immense breadth of vision and a
passionate intensity and awe for life, love, nature, time and
eternity. Originally branded an eccentric, Emily Dickinson is now
recognised as a major poet of great depth, startling originality
and courage for as she wrote: 'Assent and you are sane; /Demure
you're straightaway dangerous / And handled with a chain'.
This complete compendium of Emily Dickenson's poetry offers the
reader a vivid portrait of one of Massachusetts' most famous and
enigmatic poets. Although a greatly talented writer, Emily
Dickenson lived most of her life in private seclusion, in contrast
to the culture of the time which emphasized community and
socializing. Throughout her life, Emily's family ensured her care
and comfort; she lived a life characterized by quiet
self-seclusion. Emily's early life ensured a great standard of
education, with her aunts in particular noting her inclination
toward musical and literary interests. Contemporary scholars
generally agree that Emily Dickenson's isolation was chiefly the
result of a persistent depression. The death of a school principal
she admired, and of several friends, plummeted her toward isolation
during the prime of her life. Despite her illness, she managed to
travel with her family to see life beyond her hometown of Amhurst
and publish a few of her poems.

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The eagerness with which the first
volume of Emily Dickinson's poems has been read shows very clearly
that all our alleged modern artificiality does not prevent a prompt
appre-ciation of the qualities of directness and simplicity in
approaching the greatest themes, - life and love and death. That
"irresistible needle-touch," as one of her best critics has called
it, piercing at once the very core of a thought, has found a
response as wide and sympathetic as it has been unexpected even to
those who knew best her compelling power. This second volume, while
open to the same criticism as to form with its predecessor, shows
also the same shining beauties.
The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson
long since called "the Poetry of the Portfolio," - something
produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely
by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must
inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of
public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On
the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of
freedom and the unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the
case of the present author, there was absolutely no choice in the
matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by
temperament and habit, literally spending years without setting her
foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her
walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually
concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a very few
friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to
print, during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote
verses in great abundance; and though brought curiously indifferent
to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of
her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which
had its own tenacious fastidiousness.
The Emily Dickinson Collection (2021) compiles some of the
best-known works of an icon of American poetry. Out of nearly
two-thousand poems discovered after her death, less than a dozen
appeared in print during Dickinson's lifetime. Drawn from such
influential posthumous volumes as Poems (1902) and The Single Hound
(1914), The Emily Dickinson Collection captures the spiritual
depths, celebratory heights, and impenetrable mystery of
Dickinson's poetic gift. "Fame is a fickle food / Upon a shifting
plate, / Whose table once a Guest, but not / The second time, is
set." Deeply aware of the fleeting nature of fame, Dickinson-whose
reputation in life was as a lonely eccentric who rarely, if ever,
left home-seems to provide some clarity as to why publication so
often eluded her. Having published just ten poems in her lifetime,
Dickinson continued to write in solitude until her final years. Her
final word on fame is a warning, perhaps, for poets whose fate
would differ from her own: "Men eat of it and die." Despite her
admonishing tone, she found space elsewhere to muse on the nature
of literary achievement, recognizing that obscurity could
incidentally produce the conditions for a poet to produce their
most vital work: "Success is counted sweetest / By those who ne'er
succeed. / To comprehend a nectar / Requires sorest need."
Throughout her life, Emily Dickinson showed a profound respect for
the mysteries of worldly existence. In her poems, this creates an
atmosphere of prayer and contemplation, a search for something
beyond the simple answers: "Some things that fly there be, - /
Birds, hours, the bumble-bee: / Of these no elegy." Amid such
fleeting things, she catches a glimpse of eternity. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of The Emily Dickinson Collection is a classic of
American poetry reimagined for modern readers.
Published in 1924, The Life and Letters of Emily Dickinson is a
biography by her niece Martha Dickinson Bianchi. Featuring detailed
biographical essays and her letters, for the first time arranged
chronically, the book stands as a retelling of her aunt's life from
the perspective of family in an attempt to challenge the image of
Emily Dickinson as a cold, isolated woman of mystery. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of The Life and Letters of Emily Dickinson is a must-read
biography reimagined for modern readers.
"This is my letter to the world . . ." - Emily Dickinson The Poetry
of Emily Dickinson is a collection of pieces by 19th-century
American poet Emily Dickinson, who insisted that her life of
isolation gave her an introspective and deep connection with the
world. As a result, her work parallels her life-misunderstood in
its time, but full of depth and imagination, and covering such
universal themes as nature, art, friendship, love, society,
mortality, and more. During Dickinson's lifetime, only seven of her
poems were published, but after her death, her prolific writings
were discovered and shared. With this volume, readers can dive into
the now widely respected poetry of Emily Dickinson.
