The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson

A definitive collection of Dickinson's work, this handsome book features facsimiles of poems handwritten by the poet and interspersed with her own sketches. Dickinson's work is defined by its originality and independence; she broke from tradition with her inverted syntax and unconventional punctuation and capitalization. Her style was greatly influenced by transcendentalist writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
