Emily Dickinson
Library Binding
(Mitchell Lane Publishers Feb. 1, 2007)
Growing up in Amherst, Massachusetts, young, bright Emily Dickinson was known for her witty writing and excellent baking. As she grew older she wore only white, spent less time with others, and devoted hours to be alone in her bedroom and garden. At her little desk, Emily Dickinson wrote about many topics, including nature, love, and death. In her garden, she grew an amazing collection of flowers. She had a very strong bond with her family and a few people she considered friends, but many others were curious about the shy and talented poet. By the time her life was over, Emily Dickinson had written over 1,700 poems, a surprise even to those closest to her. To this day, Dickinson s poetry is considered innovative and fascinating, and it is loved by people all over the world. Yet mysteries still remain. What inspired Emily to write? What made her become so private and retreat from the world? Dickinson scholars and fans continue to search for answers.
