Considered one of America’s

greatest poets, Emily Dickinson was born in 1830 to a prominent Amherst, Massachusetts

family.   Living most of her life in her

father’s house, Emily wrote poetry of great power, questioning the nature of

immortality and death. In spite of encouragement and opportunity, she refused

to publish more than a few poems during her lifetime. After her death in 1886,

her sister Lavinia discovered a box containing hundreds of poems. Those poems

were first published in 1890.
