Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson was an American poet who, despite the fact that less than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime, is widely considered one of the most original and influential poets of the 19th century.Dickinson was born to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence.Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; 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.Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, both of whom heavily edited the content. A complete and mostly unaltered collection of her poetry became available for the first time in 1955 when The Poems of Emily Dickinson was published by scholar Thomas H. Johnson. Despite unfavorable reviews and skepticism of her literary prowess during the late 19th and early 20th century, critics now consider Dickinson to be a major American poet.For more information, please see http://www.answers.com/topic/emily-di...
The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson
Dickinson’s poetry is remarkable for its tightly controlled emotional and intellectual energy. The longest poem covers less than two pages. Yet in theme and tone her writing reaches for the sublime as it charts the landscape of the human soul. A true innovator, Dickinson experimented freely with conventional rhythm and meter, and often used dashes, off rhymes, and unusual metaphors—techniques that strongly influenced modern poetry. Dickinson’s idiosyncratic style, along with her deep resonance of thought and her observations about life and death, love and nature, and solitude and society, have firmly established her as one of America’s true poetic geniuses.
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson
THE ONLY ONE-VOLUME EDITION CONTAINING ALL 1,775 OF EMILY DICKINSON’S POEMS
Only eleven of Emily Dickinson’s poems were published prior to her death in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity in her lifetime. Early posthumously published collections-some of them featuring liberally “edited” versions of the poems-did not fully and accurately represent Dickinson’s bold experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations. Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate the whole of Dickinson’s extraordinary poetic genius.
This book, a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems, brings together the original texts of all 1,775 poems that Emily Dickinson wrote.

Poemas
Emily Dickinson
La biografía oficial de Emily Dickinson no tiene mucho que ver con el mundo que puebla su poesía. El encierro voluntario en su habitación, rompiendo su relación con el mundo exterior, es lo que convierte su poesía en algo íntimo e intenso. Un gusto obsesivo por la palabra, experimentar hasta encontrar el término adecuado, y un peculiar sentido de la ironía impregnan sus versos. En España ha sido prácticamente una desconocida, tanto para el gran público como para académicos y creadores. Por ello, esta antología bilingüe, abarcando aspectos tanto de contenido como estilísticos, pretende dar al lector una visión lo más completa posible de su poesía.
Fifty Poems of Emily Dickinson, Volume I
Emily Dickinson
Four well-known actresses read these poems by one of the greatest American poets of the nineteenth century. Beginning always with particulars of personal experience, her poems encompass life and death, love and longing, joyfulness and sorrow. With sparse, precise language, she conveys a penetrating vision of the natural world and an acute understanding of the most profound human truths.

Η Συγκίνηση ήρθε αργά σαν Ευλογία Αιώνες κράτησε αυτή η αργοπορία Μεγάλωνε η ορμή της σαν Φουσκονεριά Μές σε χλιδάτη Μοναξιά – Έλειπε μόνον η απελπισία Όσο η Έκσταση άλλαζε Ενδυμασία Και μπρος στην Αλλαγή στεκόταν θαμπωμένη Μες σ’ Αγιοσύνη μαγεμένη.
Η Έμιλι Ελίζαμπεθ Ντίκινσον γεννήθηκε το 1830 στο Άμχερστ της Μασαχουσέτης. Θεωρείται μία από τις μεγαλύτερες ποιήτριες της Δύσης. Η ποίησής της έχει έντονα προσωπικό χαρακτήρα, που κάνει σχεδόν αδύνατη την ένταξή της σε κάποια σχολή ή λογοτεχνικό ρεύμα. Έζησε απομονωμένη στο δωμάτιό της μέχρι το θάνατό της το 1890.
The Poetry of Emily Dickinson (Word Cloud Classics)
Emily Dickinson
“This is my letter to the world . . .” — Emily DickinsonThe Poetry of Emily Dickinson is a collection of pieces by 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson, who insisted that her life of isolation gave her an introspective and deep connection with the world. As a result, her work parallels her life—misunderstood in its time, but full of depth and imagination, and covering such universal themes as nature, art, friendship, love, society, mortality, and more. During Dickinson’s lifetime, only seven of her poems were published, but after her death, her prolific writings were discovered and shared. With this volume, readers can dive into the now widely respected poetry of Emily Dickinson.

Envelope Poems
Emily Dickinson
Another gorgeous copublication with the Christine Burgin Gallery, Emily Dickinson's Envelope Poems is a compact clothbound gift book, a full-color selection from The Gorgeous Nothings. Although a very prolific poet―and arguably America’s greatest―Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) published fewer than a dozen of her eighteen hundred poems. Instead, she created at home small handmade books. When, in her later years, she stopped producing these, she was still writing a great deal, and at her death she left behind many poems, drafts, and letters. It is among the makeshift and fragile manuscripts of Dickinson’s later writings that we find the envelope poems gathered here. These manuscripts on envelopes (recycled by the poet with marked New England thrift) were written with the full powers of her late, most radical period. Intensely alive, these envelope poems are charged with a special poignancy―addressed to no one and everyone at once.
Full-color facsimiles are accompanied by Marta L. Werner and Jen Bervin’s pioneering transcriptions of Dickinson’s handwriting. Their transcriptions allow us to read the texts, while the facsimiles let us see exactly what Dickinson wrote (the variant words, crossings-out, dashes, directional fields, spaces, columns, and overlapping planes).
The Works of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson
Initially a vivacious, outgoing person, Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) progressively withdrew into a reclusive existence. An undiscovered genius during her lifetime, only seven out of her total of 1,775 poems were published prior to her death. She had an immense breadth of vision and a passionate intensity and awe for life, love, nature, time and eternity. Originally branded an eccentric, Emily Dickinson is now recognised as a major poet of great depth.
The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson
Explore the essence of life, love, nature, and time in exquisite verse with this elegantly designed edition of Emily Dickinson’s finest poems.
Born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a prominent New England family and educated at Amherst Academy and Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson lived most of her life in seclusion, devoted to writing. She scarcely left home, nor did she have many visitors. Only ten of her poems were published in her lifetime, submitted without her permission by friends. It was only after her death in 1886 that the scope of her work as a poet came to light—over 1,700 poems were discovered in a dresser drawer by her sister, Lavinia.
Emily Dickinson’s poems reflect her loneliness, as well as her love of nature, the influence of the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth century England, and her strong Puritan religious beliefs. Yet, it is her use of language, form, and the deceptive simplicity of her verse that categorize her as an important force in nineteenth century American letters and, along with Walt Whitman, a founder of a distinctly American voice in modern poetry.
PRELUDE
THIS is my letter to the world, That never wrote to me,— That simple news that Nature told, With tender majesty.
Her message is committed To hands I cannot see; For love of her, sweet countrymen, Judge tenderly of me!

Herbarium
Emily Dickinson
Herbário recolhido por Emily Dickinson entre 1839 e 1846. Emily Dickinson nasceu na sua casa familiar de Amherst, no Massachusetts, onde viria a morrer em 1886. Passou a vida rodeada de bosques e prados, coleccionando flores e folhas, que desde criança aprendeu a classificar.
Estes poemas de Dickinson falam-nos das árvores sob a luz do Sol, da cor das nozes pela manhã, das bagas, dos campos que a certa hora são escarlates. O seu olhar capta o movimento das abelhas e das borboletas, a sua pele sente a brisa. O seu herbário tinha mais de quatrocentas espécies classificadas, o que evidencia a sua relação apaixonada com a natureza. As etiquetas de papel que identificam as diferentes espécies foram escritas na mesma caligrafia dos seus versos.
Neste livro, podemos conhecer essas folhas e flores e os poemas botânicos inspirados nos campos de Amherst.

The same voice and insights that make Emily Dickinson’s poems immortal can be found in the letters she wrote to her family and friends throughout her life. The selection of letters presented here provides a fuller picture of the eccentric recluse of legend, showing how immersed in life she was: we see her tending her garden; baking bread; marking the marriages, births, and deaths of those she loved; reaching out for intellectual companionship; and confessing her personal joys and sorrows.

Selected Poems
Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson was born into a prominent New England family. Sociable as a child, she grew increasingly withdrawn, and in later years became known as a recluse.
Only seven of her poems were published during her lifetime. After Emily's death in 1886, her sister Lavinia discovered 1,775 poems bound in small packets tied with thread.
They were first published in 1890, attracting unexpected attention in literary circles. With spare, precise language, Emily Dickinson conveyed a penetrating vision of the natural world and an acute understanding of the most profound human truths.
Zumbido
Emily Dickinson
En esta edición bilingüe, con ilustraciones de Lea Kleiner, el lector podrá leer poemas y también las cartas de Emily Dickinson (muchas de ellas verdaderos poemas en prosa), traducidos —con rigor y lucidez— por tres poetas chilenos contemporáneos: Rodrigo Olavarría, Enrique Winter y Verónica Zondek.
Emily Dickinson, poeta invisibilizada en su tiempo, es hoy una de las voces más deslumbrantes de la poesía universal. Pocos han rozado el misterio, como ella lo hizo, llevando la poesía a «zonas mudas» del sentido. Y lo hizo con levedad (no liviandad) y, al mismo tiempo, con densidad poética.
Dickinson, que vivió una vida «fuera del mundo» y no exenta de angustias y zozobras interiores, nos regala una alegría y una extrañeza inéditas: «El júbilo es el camino / de un alma al interior del mar / tras las casas —tras los cabos— / a la honda eternidad».
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) Es autora de 1789 poemas breves en torno al misterio de la existencia, de los cuales apenas publicó una docena en vida. Hoy se la considera la poeta más popular y, a la vez, la más rupturista en la historia de Estados Unidos. Residió en Amherst.
Rodrigo Olavarría (1979)
Es autor de las novelas Cuaderno esclavo y Alameda tras las rejas y el poemario La noche migratoria. Ha traducido libros de Herman Melville, Edgar Lee Masters y Allen Ginsberg, entre otros. Reside en Santiago.
Enrique Winter (1982)
Es autor del poemario Lengua de señas, la novela Las bolsas de basura y el disco Agua en polvo, entre otros. Ha traducido libros de G. K. Chesterton, Philip Larkin y Charles Bernstein. Reside en Valparaíso.
Verónica Zondek (1953)
Es autora de los poemarios Fuego frío, Un parto lento y Vagido, entre otros. Ha traducido libros de Gottfried Benn, Anne Sexton, Derek Walcott, June Jordan y Anne Carson. Reside en Valdivia.
The Pocket Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson
A selection of authentic versions of the best poems of America’s most popular poet–in a beautiful miniature edition.
Emily Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the greatest of American poets. The aphoristic style and wit of much of her verse, its irregular rhymes, directness of expression, and startling imagery, have had a profound effect on twentieth-century literature. Over a hundred of Dickinson’s best poems are collected here. These unique and gemlike lyrics are pure distillations of profound feeling and great intellect. They contain a world of imagination, observation, and precisely articulated spiritual and emotional experience.
Un rumor entre los árboles: Poemas sobre naturaleza y pájaros
Emily Dickinson
En 1840 Emily Dickinson ingresó a la prestigiosa Academia de Amherst, sólo dos años después de que se aceptaran a mujeres. Allí, durante siete años estudió literatura, historia, religión, geografía, matemáticas, biología, griego y latín, y aprendió floricultura, horticultura y jardinería. En una clase de botánica, Emily quedó tan fascinada que empezó a elaborar su propio herbario, en el que acumuló cientos de plantas y flores prensadas, acompañadas de sus respectivos nombres en latín. Así nacerán los poemas contenidos en este volumen, en los que Dickinson se vincula, en su praxis cotidiana de la palabra, no sólo con una amplia variedad de especies vegetales, sino también con los pájaros, pues una importante fracción de su poesía, de una modernidad alejada de sus contemporáneos, está dedicada a la reflexión y contemplación de su entorno natural. “Si tengo la sensación física de que me levantan la tapa de los sesos, sé que eso es poesía”, dirá Dickinson, afirmación que, sin duda alguna, define la experiencia que es su poesía. Estas páginas son destellos sutiles de una amante de la naturaleza, en comunicación con la tierra como alimento diario, su palabra llega hasta nosotros como flechas lanzadas hacia nuestro presente y futuro.
El viento comenzó a mecer la hierba
Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson fue una mujer inteligente, rebelde y culta que, en su encierro voluntario en la habitación de su casa en Amherst, construyó una de las obras más sólidas de la literatura universal. Como señala Juan Marqués en la presentación, sus poemas "además de ser escritos, en principio, exclusivamente para la inmensa minoría de sí misma, fueron, a un tiempo, complicadísimos y simples, alegres y tristes, transparentes y enigmáticos. Son poemas que acompañan y ayudan a vivir a quien los lee, que enseñan a observar mejor, que obligan a ser más compasivo". Aunque su obra es muy extensa, hemos preferido editar un libro pequeño, íntimo, dickinsoniano, para lo que ha sido fundamental la visión poética de las ilustraciones de Kike de la Rubia. "No hay, que yo sepa, una vida más apasionada y más solitaria que la de esta mujer. Prefirió soñar el amor y acaso imaginarlo y temerlo." Jorge Luis Borges

New Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson
For most of her life Emily Dickinson regularly embedded poems, disguised as prose, in her lively and thoughtful letters. Although many critics have commented on the poetic quality of Dickinson's letters, William Shurr is the first to draw fully developed poems from them. In this remarkable volume, he presents nearly 500 new poems that he and his associates excavated from her correspondence, thereby expanding the canon of Dickinson's known poems by almost one-third and making a remarkable addition to the study of American literature. Here are new riddles and epigrams, as well as longer lyrics that have never been seen as poems before. While Shurr has reformatted passages from the letters as poetry, a practice Dickinson herself occasionally followed, no words, punctuation, or spellings have been changed. Shurr points out that these new verses have much in common with Dickinson's well-known poems: they have her typical punctuation (especially the characteristic dashes and capitalizations); they use her preferred hymn or ballad meters; and they continue her search for new and unusual rhymes. Most of all, these poems continue Dickinson's remarkable experiments in extending the boundaries of poetry and human sensibility.
Emily Dickinson. Poemas Esenciales

71 poemas
Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson es una de las poetas más grandes de todos los tiempos, comparable, según Harold Bloom, a Dante y a Shakespeare. Escribió cerca de dos mil poemas, la mayoría de los cuales se encontraron tras su muerte, cuidadosamente cosidos en cuadernillos y guardados en una caja de música. Nicole d'Amonville Alegría, poeta ella misma, ha realizado una personal y muy cuidada antología a partir de la última edición crítica de R. W. Franklin. Esta incluye ocho poemas inéditos en castellano, un preciso y elegante prólogo, un extenso y útil aparato de notas, así como las variantes en cada poema con respecto a la edición de Johnson, considerada canónica hasta 1999.
En suma, los setenta y un poemas aquí reunidos constituyen una excelente muestra del rigor, la fuerza y la impresionante modernidad de la obra de la poeta norteamericana que cantó y amó con audacia y humor contra toda norma establecida.
Morí por la belleza
Emily Dickinson
Morí por la belleza, de la colección «Poesía portátil», es una selección de poemas de Emily Dickinson que nos permite adentrarnos en los anhelos que la autora encerró en sus versos. Textos desprovistos de adornos y reglas que hablan de la mujer, de la enfermedad, de la muerte y de lo que nos espera después.
Emily Dickinson es sin duda una de las eruditas más enigmáticas de la historia de la literatura, una mujer que murió a los cincuenta y cinco años siendo una desconocida y habiendo publicado solo siete poemas. En realidad había escrito casi dos mil y fue su hermana quién los encontró en un cajón, garabateados en pedazos de papel o cuidadosamente cosidos en cuadernillos.
Dickinson vivió los últimos años de su vida sin salir de casa, recluida en una intimidad oscura que plasmó en cada verso. En ellos se respira la rabia contra una sociedad patriarcal que castigaba cualquier atisbo de independencia femenina, son poemas que se rebelan contra el mundo que la rodea y piden a gritos más libertad. Radical en fondo y forma, eliminó verbos, signos de puntuación y conectores; escribía sin adornos y sin reglas. La contundencia de su obra, su manera de entender el verso, la rima, la oración y la gramática, han marcado la poesía moderna.

Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson è considerata la più grande poetessa americana del suo secolo. Le sue 1775 liriche, quasi tutte pubblicate postume, sono il diario intenso di una sensibilità nuda che vede sempre l'universale nel quotidiano, che considera la vita alla presenza dell'infinito, si interroga sui paradossi della fede dei padri e annuncia la propria indipendenza da ogni condizionamento. Si scopre così un'autrice che, nel sentire tutto con inaudita intensità, inventerà una forma poetica irripetibile per comunicare la sua percezione del mondo.

The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition (Belknap)
Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson, poet of the interior life, imagined words/swords, hurling barbed syllables/piercing. Nothing about her adult appearance or habitation revealed such a militant soul. Only poems, written quietly in a room of her own, often hand-stitched in small volumes, then hidden in a drawer, revealed her true self. She did not live in time but in universals--an acute, sensitive nature reaching out boldly from self-referral to a wider, imagined world. Dickinson died without fame; only a few poems were published in her lifetime. Her legacy was later rescued from her desk--an astonishing body of work, much of which has since appeared in piecemeal editions, sometimes with words altered by editors or publishers according to the fashion of the day. Now Ralph Franklin, the foremost scholar of Dickinson's manuscripts, has prepared an authoritative one-volume edition of all extant poems by Emily Dickinson--1,789 poems in all, the largest number ever assembled. This reading edition derives from his three-volume work, The Poems of Emily Variorum Edition (1998), which contains approximately 2,500 sources for the poems. In this one-volume edition, Franklin offers a single reading of each poem--usually the latest version of the entire poem--rendered with Dickinson's spelling, punctuation, and capitalization intact. The Poems of Emily Reading Edition is a milestone in American literary scholarship and an indispensable addition to the personal library of poetry lovers everywhere.
Poemas a la muerte
Emily Dickinson
Este libro es una selección de aquellos poemas escritos por Emily Dickinson sobre el tema de la muerte. «En la obra de Dickinson hay una modernidad tan radicalmente alejada de sus contemporáneos que sus mejores poemas parecen flechas lanzadas hacia nuestro presente, o más allá. La suya es una poesía del pensamiento, cuya valentía conduce a indagar en lo que literalmente no puede ser pensado o figurado. De ahí que el tema de la muerte, en el que se centra esta selección de poemas, sea para ella una obsesión ineludible, hasta el punto de formar el campo semántico más amplio de su variado corpus. Hay, en este libro, una Emily Dickinson bien distinta a la imagen dulcificada que de ella se ofrece en ocasiones. Está la Dickinson más oscura, nihilista a veces, silenciada o marginal en otras antologías de su obra, pero también la más atrevida, aquélla cuyo lenguaje es más eléctrico, implacable y visionario: esos ojos destinados a ver lo invisible, más allá de todas las barreras, adornos o disfraces. Los ojos de Emily Dickinson y los nuestros que leen sus palabras, tan asombrosamente lúcidas y nuevas, un siglo y medio después». Rubén Martín
Traducción, selección y prólogo: Rubén Martín
Preferiría ser amada
Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson fue tejiendo un tipo de épica basada en la gloria de lo pequeño, el misterio de lo cotidiano, la universalidad de lo doméstico y de lo privado, la insuperable incomprensibilidad de lo inmediato. En esta antología hemos reunido poemas, cartas y también, y por primera vez en castellano, los envelope poems de la poeta de Amherst, breves poemas que, de un modo a veces difícilmente perceptible, con el mismo sigilo espectacular con el que ella vivía, escribió en los sobres de las mismas cartas, se discute si como complemento a los mismos, o como adorno, o, para los más noveleros, como misteriosa contraseña.
La ilustradora Elia Mervi ha jugado con resultados maravillosos con esos originales, incluyéndolos en sus dibujos de formas estimulantes y, sin duda atrapada por el espíritu de la poeta, llenas de significados o sugerencias.
It was not Death, for I stood up
Emily Dickinson
It was not Death, for I stood up,
And all the Dead, lie down -
It was not Night, for all the Bells
Put out their Tongues, for Noon.
It was not Frost, for on my Flesh
I felt Siroccos - crawl -
Nor Fire - for just my marble feet
Could keep a Chancel, cool -
And yet, it tasted, like them all,
The Figures I have seen
Set orderly, for Burial
Reminded me, of mine -
As if my life were shaven,
And fitted to a frame,
And could not breathe without a key,
And ’twas like Midnight, some -
When everything that ticked - has stopped -
And space stares - all around -
Or Grisly frosts - first Autumn morns,
Repeal the Beating Ground -
But most, like Chaos - Stopless - cool -
Without a Chance, or spar -
Or even a Report of Land -
To justify - Despair.
