This comprehensive and authoritative collection of all 1,775 poems by

Emily Dickinson is an essential volume for all lovers of American

literature.

Only eleven of Emily Dickinson's poems were published prior to her death

in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity

in her lifetime. Early posthumous published collections — some of them

featuring liberally "edited" versions of the poems — did not fully and

accurately represent Dickinson's bold experiments in prosody, her tragic

vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations.

Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson,

a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were

readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate

the whole of Dickinson's extraordinary poetic genius.

This book, a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems, brings

together the original texts of all 1,775 poems that Emily Dickinson

wrote.

"With its chronological arrangement of the poems, this volume becomes

more than just a collection; it is at the same time a poetic biography

of the thoughts and feelings of a woman whose beauty was deep and

lasting." —San Francisco Chronicle
