Section: Poetry

Initially a vivacious, outgoing person, Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) progressively withdrew into a reclusive existence. An undiscovered genius during her lifetime, only seven out of her total of 1,775 poems were published prior to her death. Her immense breadth of vision and a passionate intensity and awe for life, love, nature, time and eternity have caused her to be recognised as a poet of great depth, startling originality, and courage.
