    Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Little
    known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American
    poetry.While Dickinson was a prolific writer, her only publications during her lifetime were 10 of
    her nearly 1,800 poems, and one letter.The poems published then were usually edited significantly
    to fit conventional poetic rules. Her poems were unique for her era. They contain short lines,
    typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and
    punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in
    letters to her friends, and also explore aesthetics, society, nature and spirituality.
