Poems by Emily Dickinson appeared in 1890, four years after her death. It presents a first selection of her short lyrics, gathered from the manuscripts she left and arranged by theme, including life, love, nature, and time and eternity. The poems are compact and bold, with sharp images and unusual rhythm, and they first introduced her distinctive voice to the reading public.
