Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is regarded as one of America’s most exceptional and innovative poets. She defied conventional definitions of poetry and the role of a poet, creating a lasting impact on the literary world. Among her most famous works are “Because I could not stop for Death,” “Hope is the thing with feathers,” “I taste a liquor never brewed,” “‘Tis Sunrise — Little Maid — Hast Thou,” and “‘Twas Love — not me.” Dickinson’s nearly 2,000 profound and concise meditations on life, death, nature, love, and art have established her as a significant figure in English poetry. Although she was not widely recognized during her lifetime, her unique contributions to poetry continue to be celebrated and admired.
