Emily Dickinson

American poet Emily Dickinson is revered around the world, and influenced many
feminist artists and writers. Her work is some of the best known and most
quoted or adapted:

'Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune
without the words, and never stops at all' Emily Dickinson

Dickinson received a very good education, but chose to return home to Amherst,
Massachusetts, where she spent the rest of her life, writing more than a poem
a day until her death. Her refusal to compromise her highly condensed
expression meant that only a tiny fraction of her work was published in her
lifetime. Even today, her work feels startlingly modern:

'Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell' Emily
Dickinson

'The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul - BOOKS'

This is a superb collection from a truly iconic poet.
