About
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA. She was an American poet. Her quiet life was infused with a creative energy that produced almost 1800 poems and a profusion of vibrant letters. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890. A complete, and mostly unaltered, collection of her poetry became available for the first time when scholar Thomas H. Johnson published The Poems of Emily Dickinson in 1955. She wrote several poems include: I taste a liquor never brewed, Success is counted sweetest, Wild nights - Wild nights!, “Hope” is the thing with feathers, A Bird, came down the Walk, and Tell all the truth but tell it slant.
