The first series of Dickinson's poems appeared in 1890, four years after her death, edited by Mabel Loomis Todd and Thomas Wentworth Higginson. It is arranged in groups on life, love, nature, and time and eternity. The short lyrics, some playful and some solemn, look closely at birds, flowers, grief, faith and the mind. Its popularity introduced Dickinson to the public and led to further volumes.
