Emily Dickinson is considered one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. She was born on December 10, Amherst, Massachusetts. She never got married, and spent her years as a recluse who loved to wear in white. During her lifetime, probably no more than seven of her poems were put into print. After her death, three collections between 1890 and 1896 won her the reputation of a powerful eccentric, and later collections of her poems, beginning in 1914 until 1955 established her widespread recognition as a major poet. The style of her poems was simple yet passionate, and marked by economy and concen- tration. She discovered that the sharp, intense image is the poet's best instrument. In her poems, Emily Dickinson constructed her own world; yet her ideas were witty, rebellious, and original. She remains incomparable because her poems shed the unmis- takable light of originality and greatness.
