Omschrijving
This volume contains a collection of some of Emily Dickinson's poetry that illustrates not only her talent as a writer, but her profound love of language, nature, and life. Composing first in a fairly conventional style, the poetess soon began to experiment with her writing; her frequent use of dashes, sporadic capitalization of nouns, broken meter, and idiosyncratic metaphors made her work unparalleled for its time. Dickinson's poetry dealt not only with issues of death, faith and immortality, but with nature, domesticity, and the power of language to transfer emotions into written text. An obsessively private writer -- only ten of her some 1,700 poems were published during her lifetime -- Emily withdrew from social contact at the age of 23 and devoted herself to writing in secret. It wasn't until her death in 1866 that the scope of Dickinson's work was realized, when her sister Lavinia found her prolific collection in a dresser drawer.
