Emily Dickinson: Notes on All Her Poems
David Preest: "I have been reading the poems of Emily Dickinson since 1974, when I came across The Life of Emily Dickinson by Richard B. Sewall, a book which is still probably the best introduction to the poet. As I read her poems, first in The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Thomas H. Johnson of 1970 and later in The Poems of Emily Dickinson by R.W. Franklin of 1999, and at the same time read books about her life and poetry, there seemed one gap in this literature. There was no commentary of brief notes attempting to explain all her poems. This is the gap which this guide attempts to fill.In making these notes I have consulted the works of previous scholars, explained the context of those many poems which were originally parts of letters written by her, and, where necessary, made my own guess at the meaning of a poem. I believe the facts are correct, even if the guess at an interpretation is wrong. But as Emily herself once said in a letter to her sister-in-law, 'In a life that stopped guessing, you and I should not feel at home (L586).'"
The Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson, poet of the interior life, imagined words/swords, hurling barbed syllables/piercing. Nothing about her adult appearance or habitation revealed such a militant soul. Only poems, written quietly in a room of her own, often hand-stitched in small volumes, then hidden in a drawer, revealed her true self. She did not live in time but in universals—an acute, sensitive nature reaching out boldly from self-referral to a wider, imagined world. Dickinson died without fame; only a few poems were published in her lifetime. Her legacy was later rescued from her desk—an astonishing body of work, much of which has since appeared in piecemeal editions, sometimes with words altered by ed...

The Poetry of Emily Dickinson
One of America's most celebrated poets, Emily Dickinson was virtually unpublished in her lifetime. When a slim volume of her poems emerged on the American scene in 1890, her work created shockwaves that have not subsided yet. Famously precise and sparse, Emily Dickinson's poetry is often described as philosophical, both because her poetry grapples with philosophical topics like death, spirituality, and the darkening operations of the mind, and because she approaches those topics in a characteristically philosophical manner: analyzing and extrapolating from close observation, exploring alternatives, and connecting thoughts into cumulative demonstrations. But unlike Lucretius or Pope, she cann...

My Emily Dickinson
"My Emily Dickinson" does more than just explore Dickinson's life and poetics, although it does that expertly. It falls in line with a tradition of books of poets writing about poets who have intensely figured into their conception of poetry. This is more personal than a biography in that it is a writer's concern with Dickinson's place in history and what she was trying to do with her poetry. Howe does a wonderful job of trying to get into the poems through playing with language. It's a place to meet Dickinson as a lover of games and words.
Essential Dickinson
From the introduction by Joyce Carol Oates: Between them, our great visionary poets of the American nineteenth century, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, have come to represent the extreme, idiosyncratic poles of the American psyche.... Dickinson never shied away from the great subjects of human suffering, loss, death, even madness, but her perspective was intensely private; like Rainer Maria Rilke and Gerard Manley Hopkins, she is the great poet of inwardness, of the indefinable region of the soul in which we are, in a sense, all alone.
