America’s sweetheart poet, Emily Dickinson is also one my favorites.
Emily Dickinson. Born 12/10/1830. Died 1886. Emily Dickinson is an American classic poet, ushering in evocative language and imagery in service of simple observations coupled with deep insights. During her lifetime, she published a mere 10 poems, although she wrote more that 1,800. She also wrote letters from the age of 11 on, and maintained “epistolary relationships” despite being a notable recluse.
