My Thoughts

Beatriz Freitas

Have you ever felt like you didn't fit in somewhere? At school, with a group of friends, or in your own home? Emily Dickinson's poems got me thinking she was living her own life at her own pace since she isolated herself from society and had very few people she considered close to. Personally, I'm fascinated by her personality because she actually wrote like she lived a full social life; she was clever and very open-minded to their Puritan beliefs. She spent her poetic life questioning the survival of the soul after death, indeed her poems show the struggle between intellect and a necessary faith that placates fears and doubts of an afterlife. Despite my finding the poetry quite complex to understand at certain times, I loved reading it. Emily Dickinson was a fascinating figure and a brilliant poet; she chose to isolate herself from the world but kept observing it, creating unique themed messages. I fell in love with the poetry of Emily Dickinson a while ago. This book holds many of her poems and they are easy to read. The book itself is a nice weight to hold while reading. The poems are simple yet lovely as can be expected from Ms. Dickinson.

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
