After Emily, Two Remarkable Women and the Legacy of America's Greatest Poet by Julie Dobrau

The story of what happened to Emily Dickinson's poems after her death is so involved and so much back and forth that I am literally going to recommend a book right now.

He attempted to put them in some sort of chronological order, which was something that hadn't ever been done before.
