Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson - Emily Dickinson Pages:128 pages Tolkien was the Merton ProfessorAlthough Emily Dickinson wrote nearly 2,000 poems, only a handful were ever published in her lifetime, and those anonymously. Today, she is recognized as one of the most important American poets of the nineteenth century, one whose unconventional use of language and rhyme anticipated the break with tradition of much modern poetry written after it. The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson collects more than 150 of Dickinsons brief but memorable poems.
