About this title: Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the man of letters to whom Emily Dickinson first entrusted her poems, was dumbfounded by them, and asked, "What place ought to be assigned in literature to what is so remarkable, yet so elusive of criticism?" His question was answered only after Dickinson's death: She is now considered one of America's greatest poets. Her terse, oblique, visionary poems have almost no relation to the conventions of the second half of the 19th century, when they were written.

"My roommate also gave me this for my birthday. It's a really nice little volume of about 109 poems. Some of her best known poems are included in here, but also others that are just as good, if less studied. It's a cool little book."
Hasn't your heart ever been truly broken? Have you ever been in love with someone who was repulsed by you... maybe someone who even called you a psycho? Have you ever been emotionally sucker-punched or dropped-kicked? ..I guess not.. Darling, your verses... Why would I want to read 75 pages of poetry about nature, or your interpretation of "life"?

I'm under the vague impression you write beautifully, but Honey, I almost missed it."
