Through her transcendent imagery, distinct punctuation, experimental slant rhyme, and wordplay, Emily Dickinson set herself apart from every other poet of her time. These essential works - thematically divided into poems on life, nature, love, and time and eternity - reveal a keen, humorous observer whose art, like the artist herself, defied tradition.
Originally published in three volumes between 1890 and 1891, this collection established Dickinson as a literary icon years after her death. Also included in this edition is The Single Hound, a once-lost volume of poetry edited by her niece, who was instrumental in establishing her aunt as the most widely read poet in the English language.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson, this edition of Collected Poems (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
