Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) was an American poet known for her unique, unconventional style, often characterized by short lines, slant rhymes, and idiosyncratic punctuation. She lived a reclusive life in Amherst, Massachusetts, and wrote nearly 1,800 poems, though only a few were published during her lifetime. Posthumous collections like "Poems" (1890) brought her work to wider attention, revealing themes of nature, death, immortality, and inner emotional landscapes. Today, Dickinson is regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry, with her works continuing to influence modern literature.
