One of the well known American poets of the nineteenth century, the reclusive Dickinson sought to expand her horizons rather be in the narrow minded literary establishment of her time. Dickinsson questioned the society that she lived in. She was nonconvetional i that she wrote about topics such as nature,life, and fleeting moments. Dickinson's best poems were written in the 1870's, when she slowed down from the intense pace that she wrote earlier in her life.
What I find fascinating about Emily Dickinson is that she could glean much depth from ordinary meanings. Dickinson lamented the alienation of intellectuals after the Civil War. She was reclusive and not available to her folks in her town but this makes Emily Dickinson a curiousity.
