Emily Dickinson's Poems

There are over 800 poems in these 40 books, plus of course, 900 or so on loose pieces of paper and even more on those famous pieces of envelope that the Frugal Housewife recommend that every household keep to use again for scrap paper. They're explorations of death, very common, and its opposite immortality. But using everyday, easily understood images to stand in for the bigger concepts. That's the 10 second summary of Emily Dickinson's poetry.
