Punkt 1 von 7
Poems written for no audience at all
These poems come from a woman who lived almost entirely at home. Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst in 1830 and died there in 1886. Her father was a leading lawyer and the treasurer of the town college, and she stepped out of her seclusion only for his yearly reception.
Her sister found the poems after her death. Many were copied neatly onto note paper and tied into small bundles of six or eight sheets. Friends who had received poems in letters lent them to the editors, Mabel Loomis Todd and Thomas Wentworth Higginson, so different versions of one poem could be compared.
The poems appeared in three series, with prefaces by the editors. Most had no titles, so the editors supplied them, and they also smoothed her dashes into ordinary punctuation. Keep this in mind as you read. You are hearing a private voice that never expected a crowd.
