Emily Dickinson, an American poet, born at Amherst, Mass. She lived a secluded life and published almost nothing during her lifetime.
Her work is unusual in form, filled with original, striking, though, and tender beauty, and some of her poems have found a permanent place in American literature.
IW note: It is believed that Emily was in love with her sister-in-law, Susan Gilbert Dickinson, throughout her life.
