Poems by Emily Dickinson [Three Series, Complete] is a complete collection of the poems of the renowned American poet Emily Dickinson, who, with the possible exception of Walt Whitman, is now recognized as the most important American poet of the 19th century.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (1830-1886) was an American poet. With the possible exception of Walt Whitman, Dickinson is now recognized as the most important American poet of the 19th century. Although Dickinson's acquaintances were most likely aware of her writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Dickinson's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of her work became apparent to the public. Despite some unfavorable reception and skepticism over the late 19th and early 20th centuries regarding her literary prowess, Dickinson is now almost universally considered to be one of the most significant of all American poets. Influenced by: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Blake
