Author Bio

Virtually unknown as a poet in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson (1830-86) is now recognized as one of the most unaccountably strange and marvelous of the world's great writers. Unique in their form, their psychic urgency, and their uncanny, crystalline power, her poems represent a mind unlike any other to be found in literature.
