  • Emily Dickinson: Poetry of Pain and Beauty in Heartbreak

    1934 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Emily Dickinson's lifetime, she was an unknown talent (except to a select few she had chosen to share her expressions of life with) that had only seven poems published while she was alive, and the poems that were published were probably all done so without her immediate knowledge or consent (Bloom 12). Her poems show two different sides of her: some an `irreverent little girl' and others `a grief-stricken, mature woman' (---. 8). When examining poems by Emily Dickinson, you see how the pain in her life and the heartbreak she felt and witnessed contributed to many of the over two thousand poems she wrote during her 56 years of life.

    As Vincent Van Gogh once said, “If one is a master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.” Grippingly, this seems to be the case with a famous poet known as Emily Dickinson, since her passion for poetry led to her gaining insight into many topics. Born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson went on to drop out of school and live the rest of her days at home with her family. There, she wrote countless amounts of poetic pieces and letters in her notebooks, which went on to be published after her death, on May 15, 1886, in Amherst. She is now considered an important stepping stone to the textual art that is literature. Because she is able to use a unique poetic style, Emily Dickinson provides her in-depth insights on life, death, and the laws of nature in her works.

  • The Tormented Soul of Emily Dickinson

    1337 Words  | 3 Pages

    Emily Dickinson, the self-secluded poet from Amherst, is now considered one of the greatest American Poets. She, in breaking conventional grammar rules, created a new form of poetry, her own, to attain this title. Through the use of unconventional grammar styles Dickinson was able to create a poem, when read in the mind appears to be incomprehensible, but when read aloud is made clear to the reader. Dickinson also made use of common objects and emotions in her poems, which captivated the reader and allowed the reader to escape into a world created by her. Dickinson's use of common objects and emotions was due to her un-social and hostile background, which created a twisted soul inside of Dickinson that was represented in much of her poetry. The methods of Dickinson created a new form of poetry, raw and undiscovered, which made her poetry more significant and realistic than an average poem.

  • Analysis Of Emily Dickinson's Because I Could Not Stop For Death

    638 Words  | 2 Pages

    The poetry of Emily Dickinson is shrouded in an air of mystery, and rightly so. The fact that not much is known about Dickinson’s personal life makes it somewhat difficult to grasp her strikingly complex subject matter and unusual writing style. Her rebellion of the traditional poetic form seems to have made it rather difficult to publish any of her work—Norton tells us that she did, in fact, try to have some of her poetry published, but that she was unhappy with how the editors tried to make the format of her work appear more conventional (“Emily Dickinson” 1661). When her poems finally were published following her death in 1886, it was through the tedious efforts of some of her closest friends. Initially, Dickinson’s poetry was disliked by critics who thought that her verse “violated the laws of meter” (“Emily Dickinson” 1662), but they began to gain popularity in the mid-1900s when Dickinson’s niece resumed publication of the poems. Without such efforts, Dickinson’s work may not have made it to the eyes and ears of audiences today. While her poems still cause some confusion among her readers, she is nonetheless revered as one of America’s greatest poets.
