The Complete Poems Emily Dickinson - Only eleven of Emily Dickinsons poems were published prior to her death in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity in her lifetime. Early posthumously published collections-some of them featuring liberally edited versions of the poems-did not fully and accurately represent Dickinsons bold experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations. Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate the whole of Dickinsons extraordinary poetic genius.

Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) är en av de största amerikanska poeterna genom tiderna. Hon behandlade klassiska ämnen som naturen, kärleken och döden, men hennes poesi blev i sin fria form nyskapande i den viktorianska litteraturen. Dickinson efterlämnade en omfattande brevkorrespondens, ett fyrtiotal anteckningsböcker och nästan tvåtusen dikter. Dickinsons litterära livsverk publicerades postumt.
