Poems

Dive into one of the most important figures in American poetry, Emily Dickinson's iconic collection. Characterised by three distinct periods, a sentimental tone lies in her work dating up to the American Civil War, followed by her most creative period and finally rounding off with her last notes before her death in 1886. A major influence on film, music and culture today, fans of Apple TV+'s 'Dickinson' series and the 2016 biographical film 'A Quiet Passion' can revel in her sometimes flowery, more often than not morbid and occasionally religious observations of life and love in 19th century America.-
