Having lived more than 150 years ago, trailblazer Emily Dickinson is still considered one of America’s most distinctive and prolific poets, having written nearly 2,000 poems. Learn more about Emily Dickinson, her poems, her ongoing revisions, and the amazing contemporary poets that she has influenced.
