Emily Dickinson facts
- Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts
- Although part of a prominent family with strong ties to its community, Dickinson lived much of her life in reclusive isolation
- After studying at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she briefly attended the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst
- Considered an eccentric by locals, she developed a noted penchant for white clothing and became known for her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, to even leave her bedroom
- Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depended entirely upon correspondence
- While Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly 1,800 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
- Although Dickinson's acquaintances were most likely aware of her writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Dickinson's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of her work became apparent to the public
