The Single Hound [Poems Of A Lifetime] [by Emily Dickinson]

 Emily Elizabeth Dickinson [December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886] was an American poet who lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. Considered an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence. While Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly 1800 poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends. This beautiful volume published in 1915 with an interesting introduction by her niece Martha Dickinson Bianchi showcases perfectly her position as one of the worlds finest poets.
