First published in 1890, this volume contains all three series of "Poems
by Emily Dickinson", an extensive collection of Dickinson's very best
poetry. Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (1830-1886) was an American poet
commonly hailed as being among the most important figures in American
poetry. Not much is known about her personal life, but evidence suggests
that this is because she spent most of her time isolated from other
people. Those who lived around her claimed that she took to wearing only
white apparel and rarely left her bedroom in her later years. Despite
being a prolific writer who produced a corpus of over 1,800 poems, only
10 were published during her lifetime. Her poetry was considered unusual
for her time, incorporating a variety of odd features and breaking many
of the conventional rules. Contents include: "First Series - I. Life,
II. Love, III. Nature, IV. Time and Eternity", "Second Series - I. Life,
II. Love, III. Nature, IV. Time and Eternity"and "Third Series - I.
Life, II. Love, III. Nature, IV. Time and Eternity." A fantastic
collection of classic poetry not to be missed by fans and collectors of
Dickinson's seminal work. Ragged Hand is proud to be republishing this
collection of classic poetry now complete with an introductory excerpt
by Martha Dickinson Bianchi.
