Virtually unknown in her lifetime, the poetry of Emily Dickinson (1830-86) is now recognized as a major literary achievement. Unique in style, obsessive in content, these short and vivid lyrics together form what is perhaps the greatest body of religious verse in modern times.
Everyman's Library Pocket Poets are designed to present poetry in a pleasing and accessible format. Each volume contains a substantial selection of verse covering all aspects of the author's work in a way which reveals his or her character directly to the reader.
