Emily Dickinson Av Emily Dickinson

<P>American poet Emily Dickinson is revered around the world, and influenced many feminist artists and writers. Her work is some of the best known and most quoted or adapted:<br><B><br>''Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all'' Emily Dickinson</B><br><br>Dickinson received a very good education, but chose to return home to Amherst, Massachusetts, where she spent the rest of her life, writing more than a poem a day until her death. Her refusal to compromise her highly condensed expression meant that only a tiny fraction of her work was published in her lifetime. Even today, her work feels startlingly modern:<br><br>''Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell'' Emily Dickinson<br><br>''The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul - BOOKS''<br><br>This is a superb collection from a truly iconic poet.</P>
