Hvem var Emily Dickinson? Svaret er enkelt: en af verdens største digtere. Dickinson (1830-1886) voksede op i Amherst, Massachusetts blandt calvinistiske protestanter. Hun rejste sjældent uden for Amherst, men læste med glubende appetit bl.a. kvindeforfattere som Elisabeth Browning, George Eliott og Brontë-søstrene. Allerede som 12-årig viste hun sig som en markant brevskribent, som afslørede en vittig, overraskende og egensindig fantasi. Venskab var umådelig vigtigt for hende, og hendes kærlighed både til mænd og kvinder kommer til udtryk såvel i brevene som i digtene.     Hun skrev lidenskabeligt om at være kvinde og digter, om kvinderelationer, om kriser, kærlighed, storhed, svigt – samt solnedgange, så det syder om ørerne på læseren. Kun ti digte fik hun trykt, mens hun levede, men hun blev en bestseller efter sin død.     Allerede før sin død blev Emily Dickinson kaldt "Myten". I det stærkt religiøse Amherst nægtede hun hele sit liv at gå i kirke om søndagen. Hun isolerede sig og gik kun i hvide kjoler. En markant selviscenesættelse og anderledeshed udadtil, som sikrede hende arbejdsro indadtil – en vis beskyttelse mod datidens patriarkalske fordømmelse af den nye kvindelige selvbevidsthed – men samtidig skjulte en usikkerhed der måske gjorde, at hun aldrig nåede frem til den forlægger, der faktisk bad om at læse hendes digte, mens hun levede. Hun levede et tilsyneladende afsondret og begivenhedsløst liv – eller gjorde hun? Hendes nærmeste familie gjorde i hvert fald ikke. Det kom der verdenslitteratur ud af.Ved sin død efterlod Emily Dickinson 1775 digte. Bente Clod har udvalgt og oversat 142 digte, som også gengives på amerikansk – samt skrevet en omfattende indledning om den passionerede digter og udgivelsen af hendes digte efter hendes død.

This complete compendium of Emily Dickenson's poetry offers the reader a vivid portrait of one of Massachusetts' most famous and enigmatic poets.Although a greatly talented writer, Emily Dickenson lived most of her life in private seclusion, in contrast to the culture of the time which emphasized community and socializing. Throughout her life, Emily's family ensured her care and comfort; she lived a life characterized by quiet self-seclusion. Emily's early life ensured a great standard of education, with her aunts in particular noting her inclination toward musical and literary interests. Contemporary scholars generally agree that Emily Dickenson's isolation was chiefly the result of a persistent depression. The death of a school principal she admired, and of several friends, plummeted her toward isolation during the prime of her life. Despite her illness, she managed to travel with her family to see life beyond her hometown of Amhurst and publish a few of her poems.

One of American's most distinctive poets, Emily Dickinson scorned the conventions of her day in her approach to writing, religion, and society. Hope Is the Thing with Feathers is a collection of her vast archive of poetry to inspire the writers, creatives, and feminists of today.

Emily Dickinson saw fewer than twenty of her 1,775 poems published during her lifetime: when she died in 1886, her obscurity as a poet was nearly total. Now widely recognized as one of the great American poets of the nineteenth century, she is one of a handful from any period whose enduring stature in the world of letters is matched by the loyal affection of generation after generation of readers. In this distinguished addition to The Essential Poets series, Joyce Carol Oates presents a "personal - yet not private" collection of Dickinson favorites, selecting from relatively obscure works as well as better-known poems to illuminate Dickinson's often unacknowledged range. Oates takes care to introduce us to the poet's subversive playfulness; to her rebellious nature and radical aesthetic; to her gender-bending personae and surprisingly wicked humor. At the heart of this collection, of course, stands the work that made Dickinson's reputation as one of America's great visionary poets: an artist who has written with stoic control and astonishing lucidity about the soul's darkest, most terrifying hours.

Poetry for Kids introduces a young audience to the poetry of Emily Dickinson, with helpful explanatory text and fabulous illustrations.
