Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. Rightly regarded as a major American poet, her life was sheltered, introverted, and reclusive. Despite writing over eighteen hundred poems, only a dozen or so were published during her lifetime. Her structure and wording is at times difficult to get to grips with, though recurring themes of religion and death certainly shadow many of her works. At her death is 1886 it is likely her work might have been lost had it not been for a publication by her sister. Indeed, it wasn’t until the 1950s that a complete and unedited collection of her works was published. In the ensuing half-century, she has gradually climbed into the pantheon of greats.
These great poems are brought to your ears by Patricia Rodriguez, Richard Mitchely, Tim Graham, Gideon Wagner, and Ghizela Rowe.
