Emily Dickinson was born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a very prominent family. Her childhood was normal, filled with
friends, activities, and having fun. As she grew older, she began to isolate herself and even to refuse to leave her home. In her
latter years, she spent most of her time alone writing poetry. During her lifetime, she anonymously published only seven of her
poems. After her death in 1886, her sister discovered packets of her poems in her drawer. Four years later, her first books of
poems were published.
She used concrete imagery to illustrate abstract concepts, such as love and death. Her unusual use of capitalization and
punctuation and her use of irregular meter and thyme make her poetry unique.
