American poet Emily Dickinson is revered around the world, and influenced many feminist artists and writers. Her work is some of the best known and most quoted or adapted:

'Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all' Emily Dickinson

Dickinson received a very good education, but chose to return home to Amherst, Massachusetts, where she spent the rest of her life, writing more than a poem a day until her death. Her refusal to compromise her highly condensed expression meant that only a tiny fraction of her work was published in her lifetime. Even today, her work feels startlingly modern:

'Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell' Emily Dickinson

'The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul - BOOKS'

This is a superb collection from a truly iconic poet.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Emily Dickinson

«Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), ignorada no seu tempo e até às primeiras décadas do nosso século, é hoje reconhecida como um dos maiores vultos da literatura norte-americana. Uma vida de isolamento literário, marcada pela exclusão gradual do seu círculo de amigos e por uma existência retirada num mundo muito próprio, restringe a fragmentos os seus dados biográficos. Uma escrita enigmática, assente em construções elípticas e num sentido a descobrir, próximo do aforismo, caracterizam o seu universo poético. A confluência da sua vida e obra cativa-nos pelo paradoxo, e é na busca da revelação que radicam o prazer da leitura e o interesse do estudo da poesia dickinsoniana».
Cecília Rego Pinheiro, in «Phala», nº57
