Overview

Emily Dickinson appeared to be an ordinary woman of her time. In somewhat frail health, she lived and died quietly in the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, in the mid-1800s. She never married, and few people knew that she wrote poetry. Only a handful of her poems were published during her lifetime-- and not by her own doing. After Emily died, her sister found more than 1,700 poems written on scraps of paper, all wrapped up in little packets in Emily's room. These poems exquisitely describe the minutest details of everyday existence. Now more than a century later, Emily Dickinson is considered one of the greatest American poets. Attesting to its universal appeal, her work has been published worldwide in dozens of languages as well. In this moving biography of a tumultuous inner life that belied the ordinary outer life, award-winning writer Milton Meltzer explores the factors in Emily Dickinson's life and times that combined to make poetry the great love of her life.
