Emily Dickinson is world renown among poets and those who love literature for her emphasis on both thought and feeling.
She is considered a master of form and syntax and is often called 'a poet of paradox'.
Generally speaking her poems tend to be short and they usually use only one voice (which is not necessarily that of the poet). She published well over 1800 poems of which only a handful of them were titled as is the case of the poem listed here.
