This collection was a great introduction to Emily Dickinson's poetry - but I think it was just that, an introduction. While there are certainly some gems within this edition, I found myself uninterested in her poems about nature, which take up a significant part of this book. In time, I could definitely be persuaded to buy a complete collection of Dickinson's poetry to indulge in on a warm spring day.

This was my first time reading Emily Dickinson. I've heard a lot about her, of course, and found that, like many others, I loved her poetry. Her writing and style are unusual and spellbinding, the atmosphere - serene, ethereal, full of musing and silence, the themes - nature, death, spirituality. Most of the poems I read out loud multiple times before moving on to the next one, and most I wanted to bookmark. I'm currently reading Emily Dickinson: Letters, and plan to read another collection of D...

Can you write a book reviewEntirely in verse?Omitting standard sentencesFor stanzas taut and terse?It seems a fitting treatmentFor such a book as this;So humor me, I beg you—And my limited wit.Emily Dickinson was a poet,One of the very best;A natural gift with language—At once daft and deft.Something of a recluse,Something of a crank;Living closed up in her room—Like a fish in a tank.Undoubtedly a genius,Ahead of her time;Unappreciated in her life,For her erratic rhymes.But when she finally pass...

Abstract and intellectual, Emily Dickinson's work echoes the concerns of seventeenth-century metaphysical poetry: her short poems address religion and morality, love and death, hope and despair, through inventive metaphors and perplexing paradoxes. In contrast to her literary antecedents, though, Dickinson's language reads as a great deal more precise and less self-indulgent. So, too, do her poems tend to resist visualization altogether, whereas the metaphysical poets' work simply features stran...

Emily Dickinson's poetry is as subtle and delicate as how she lived her life. Imagine a life spent in total seclusion from society and the outside world, as how she lived: and yet her ideas are richer and profound compared to those exposed to society. Perhaps, in isolation within her own world and nature (and judging from her poems, she must have been an avid history and literary enthusiast), the themes found on her poems attained a unique kind of message: subtle and gentle, lofty, and even sat

Preamble (to be skipped)I've been reading some poetry reviews by readers who are evidently lovers of prose, not poetry. Here are some ramblings motivated by those reviews. Poetic prose is very admirable; prosodic poetry is not. It is very, very, very difficult to write a good love poem, because there are so many ways to fall into cliché and so few ways to startle, to reveal something unexpected - so difficult that most love poems are failures as poems, as it appears to me. (They may be succe

This collection consists of a considerable amount of poems written by Emily Dickinson. She is a posthumously celebrated poet, whose poems were unknown to the world. Even her family knew nothing about them till her death. According to the biographical information, Emily Dickinson had lived a solitary life. Her poetry is a reflection of a secluded thinker. Many of the poems in the collection are prone to different interpretation, according to the intellect of the reader. That shows how clever her

Emily Dickinson was a recluse, and described as “well-behaved,” so it isn’t surprising that she hides things, that we find unsaid paragraphs behind her dashes, philosophies beneath her capital letters. It’s as if she wrote poetry as a kind of shorthand to herself.The range is baffling—from silly to surreal to stunning. I read along, sometimes five or ten poems that did nothing for me (particularly the nature poems), and then bam! I was hit with something so unusual it stopped my breath. For exam...

Poems like Emily Dickinson's makes you question about life and what it means to love. This edition of collected poems gathers simply the most deeply-sentimental poems of love. I loved how the natural symbolism and the strong meanings behind the words worked.

4.5/5 Stars This was magical!I've been reading this book for a long time because I wanted to savour the content as much as I could. Through reading this book, Emily Dickinson has become one of my favourite writers. Her writing invokes such emotion from its reader, and puts feelings into words, that every poem feels personal in some way. I highlighted and made notes on many poems in this collection to refer back to. This is definitely a collection I want to revisit often!Now I'm on the hunt fo

Aside from the few poems here and there, this is the first time I've read a proper collection of Dickinson poems, and it's easy to see why she is just so popular. Her poetry really does take you away from the hustle and bustle of life, and I was left in a complete state of tranquil bliss as I worked my through the wonderful poems on offer. It was like sitting in a meadow not an apartment. This volume is spilt into four parts - Life, Love, Nature, and Time & Eternity, and it's so difficult to pic...

I read Emily Dickinson in translation back at school and remember thinking her poetry was plain.Reading her now, I realise that the plain one was me.This, to me, is poetry in its purest and therefore most powerful form. It is melody, it is painting, it is wisdom. It floats high above and it goes deep within. Simply beautiful.I especially loved the nature poems. They are invigoratingly alive and they made me want to go out and run barefoot, hug a tree, get stung by a bee and burnt by the sun. To

I spent much of my high school and college years reading poetry, sometimes the classics, and sometimes just a random book I picked up at the library. At some point I decided that Emily Dickinson was one of my favorites. I mean, I felt a funeral in my brain and Because I could not stop for death and I’m Nobody! Who are you? are unrivaled, right? (Especially for a moody teen!!) I still think those poems are unrivaled. But now that I’m all old and crotchety, I’ve discovered that many of Dickinson’...

" It's all I have to bring to-day,This, and my heart beside,This, and my heart, and all the fields,And all the meadows wide.Be sure you count,should I forget,-Some one the sum could tell,-This, and my heart, and all the beesWhich in the clover dwell."

While I was fearing it, it came,But it came with less of fear,Because that fearing it so longHad made it almost dear.There is a fitting a dismay,A fitting a despair.'T is harder knowing it is due,Than knowing it is here.The trying on the utmost,The morning it is new,Is terribler than wearing itA whole existence through.I've not read much poetry by US writers, actually Benjamin Franklin is about all I've ever really indulged in and that came about out of necessity at university, though I indeed e...

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 fully social life; she was cleaver and very open minded for their Puritan's beliefs. She spent her poetic life questioning about

I've seen a lot of references to Emily Dickinson lately so I decided to give in and read this, which I had downloaded for free from Barnes and Noble last July 4th, when they put up all their volumes in the B&N Classics Series by American authors for free download for Nook or Nook app.DO read the collected poems of Emily Dickinson. DO NOT read this version. The editors have "helpfully" messed with her stylings, replacing her dashes with other forms of punctuation, ridiculous. You also have to be
