La poetisa norteamericana Emily Dickinson nació en Amherst, Nueva Inglaterra, en 1830. Estudió en la Academia de Amherst y en el Seminario Femenino de Mount Holyoke, Massachusetts, donde se formó en un ambiente calvinista muy rígido, contra el que manifestó un obstinada rebeldía, pero que impregnó profundamente su extraña concepción de Universo.Emily Dickinson se aisló muy pronto del mundo y no admitió, a partir de entonces, entrar en contacto con nadie que no estuviera a la altura de sus conocimientos y de sus afectos, como lo estuvieron, por ejemplo, sus cuatro preceptores : Benjamin Franklin Newton, quien le hizo leer en edad muy temprana a Emerson, y luego el reverendo Charles Wadsworth, el escritor Samuel Bowles y el Juez Otis P. Lord, con quienes mantuvo una correspondencia abundante y asidua a la que hoy recurren todos aquellos que desean ahondar en la aventura espiritual de tan peculiar personalidad.
