Although Emily Dickinson wrote nearly 2 000 poems only a handful were ever published in her
lifetime and those anonymously. Today she is recognized as one of the most important American
poets of the nineteenth century one whose unconventional use of language and rhyme anticipated
the break with tradition of much modern poetry written after it. The Selected Poems of Emily
Dickinson collects more than 150 of Dickinsons brief but memorable poems. Bursting with
insights about life love nature death and immortality these poems are among the best loved
and most reprinted in English literature. The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson is one of
Barnes & Nobles Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the
worlds greatest authors in an elegantly designed bonded-leather binding with distinctive gilt
edging.
