Emily Elizabeth Dickinson Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. She had an older brother, William, and a younger sister, Lavinia. "The New England Mystic," as she was sometimes called, spent most of her life at the family home in the middle of town. She was educated at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke College which was then a female seminary. Her grandfather was a founder of Amherst College, and her father was a respected member of the community who served for one term in the U.S. Congress. It is impossible to study American poetry and not include a thorough reading of Emily Dickinson. However, for more than sixty years after her death, her words of love for Kate Scott and Sue Gilbert were squelched by her family.

Dickinson wrote more than 1800 poems, the majority of which were not discovered until after her death when her sister found the neatly organized collection in a dresser drawer. All but 24 of her works are untitled, and only ten were published in her lifetime. She is considered one of America's finest poets. "Garlands for Queens, may be -

Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson, one of America's most famous poets, was born in Amherst to a prominent family. She was educated at Amerherst Academy, the institution her grandfather helped found. She spent a year at the Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, but left because she didn't like the religious environment and because her parents asked her home. In her twenties, Emily led a busy social life, but she became more reclusive with each passing year. By her thirties, she stayed to her home and withdrew when visitors arrived. She developed a reputation as a myth, because almost never seen and, when people did catch sight of her, she was always wearing white. But while she withdrew from physical contact with people, she did not withdraw from them mentally. Emily was an avid letter-writer who corresponded with a great number of friends and relatives. 1000 of these letters (a portion of what she wrote) survived her death, and they show her letter writing to be very similar to her poetic styleenigmatic and abstract, sometimes fragmented, and often forcefully sudden in emotion. Emily often included poetry with her letters to friends. Her friends encouraged her to publish, but after an attempt to do so in 1860 (when the publisher suggested she hold off) Emily did not appear to try again. The eight poems that were published in her lifetime were primarily poems submitted by her friends without her permission. Her death revealed 1768 more poems.

http://www.csulb.edu/~csnider/dickinson.shamanism.html
Clifton Snider
English Department
California State University, Long Beach "A Druidic Difference": Emily Dickinson and Shamanism That Emily Dickinson published almost no poems while she was alive yet became enormously popular when her first book appeared four years after her death is a well known fact. [. . .] it can be a revelation whose heights and depths are beyond our fathoming, or a vision of beauty which we can never put into words. [. . .] the primordial experiences rend from top to bottom the curtain upon which is painted the picture of an ordered world, and allow a glimpse into the unfathomable abyss of the unborn and of things yet to be. ("Psychology and Literature" 90). Something in her psyche drove her to probe those "heights and depths," which were often beyond her own fathoming. This something Jung calls an "innate drive" (ibid. 101), and I believe that the archetype she chiefly represents and is driven by is shamanism. Not a shaman in the traditional sense as described by Mircea Eliade in his classic, Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy , Dickinson nevertheless fits Joan B. Townsend's description of neo-shamans as people "often disenchanted with traditional religions and often with much of Western society. Although they tend not to be affiliated with any organized religion, they all continue intensive personal quests for spirituality, meaning, and transcendence" (78). Her personal questher personal myth as expressed in her poetrycompensates for contemporary imbalance through a search for meaning in the face of the breakdown of collective myths. Had she lived in another era and been associated with a religion or belief system that included shamans, no doubt Dickinson would have been a shaman in the traditional sense, for she is concerned about the same mysteries that concern shamans and investigates these mysteries using the imagery of shamanism. These mysteries include death and the afterlife, as well as suffering, loss, and healing.

Thenclose the Valves of her attention Like Stone. E mily Dickinson selected her own society, and it was rarely that of other people. She preferred the solitude of her white-washed poet's room, or the birds, bees, and flowers of her garden to the visitations of family and friends. But for three occasions in her life she never left her native Amherst, MA; for the last twenty of her fifty-six years, she rarely left her house. And yet her reclusive existence in no way restricted her abundant life of the imagination. Her letters and poems, all except seven published posthumously, revealed her to be an inspired visionary and true original of American literature.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born to a prominent Amherst family on December 10, 1830. A successful lawyer and later Congressman and judge, her father had been a founder of Amherst College. Dickinson's girlhood was spent in the usual flurry of feminine activities of the day; she enjoyed a reputation as the witty Belle of Amherst for a time, and she spent a year away from home at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary from 1847-48.

    In queste pagine trovate tutte le opere di Emily Dickinson, in originale e, una volta completata, in traduzione italiana. Il lavoro è iniziato a gennaio 2002 con la traduzione delle poesie ed è poi andato avanti con l'inserimento delle lettere e dei frammenti in prosa. Per le poesie ho previsto anche l'inserimento di un commento nel quale ho esplicitato la mia interpretazione dei versi e, talvolta, anche considerazioni sulle scelte di traduzione e citazioni tratte dalla sterminata bibliografia dickinsoniana. Per molte poesie ho inserito, oltre al commento, anche delle note che riguardano eventuali versioni alternative, varianti, notizie testuali o quant'altro possa essere utile per chi legge il voluminoso corpus poetico di Emily Dickinson. Per le lettere e i frammenti in prosa mi sono limitato a inserire note esplicative su avvenimenti e personaggi citati nei testi, partendo dalle note dell'edizione delle lettere e dei frammenti in prosa curata da Johnson e Ward nel 1958, che ho cercato di arricchire, ove possibile, con ulteriori informazioni. Oltre alle tre sezioni principali, ho inserito ulteriori quattro pagine: una cronologia della vita di Emily Dickinson, un elenco degli autori citati nell'intero corpus (che è via via aggiornato e sarà completato insieme alle traduzioni), una pagina musicale, con la riproduzione di alcuni spartiti e la possibilità di ascoltarli (in formato "midi"), e un elenco delle piante e degli animali citati nelle poesie

    Classroom Issues and Strategies
    Some students may want to dismiss Dickinson as an "old maid" or as a woman who "missed out on life" by not marrying. One student asked, "Why didn't she just move to Boston and get a job?" Students want to know about Dickinson's life and loves, her personal relationships with both men and women; they are curious about why she chose not to publish; they are interested in her religious/spiritual life, her faith, and her belief in immortality. They want to know what the dilemmas of her life were, as they manifested themselves in her writing: What her psychic states were, what tormented her, what she mourned, what drove her close to madness, why she was fascinated with death and dying. Addressing these questions allows the opportunity to discuss the oversimplifying and stereotyping that result from ignorance of social history as well as insistence on heterosexism. Students should be prepared for the poems by being encouraged to speculate. An instructor can invite students to explore each poem as an experiment, and to ease into the poetry, understanding that Dickinson was a poet who truly "questioned authority" and whose work defies authoritative readings. All of her difficulties as listed above can be seen as connected with her radically original imagination.

    Because I Could Not Stop for Death
    Emily Dickinson is one of those writers whose life is as famous as her writing. After Emily Dickinson died, her sister found nearly two thousand poems in her bureau, all ready for publication. In a surprising number of those poems, Emily Dickinson was writing from beyond the grave. "Because I Could Not Stop for Death," Dickinson’s fantasy of getting picked up by the grim reaper, has become standard reading curriculum in English classes across America but it’s still a very strange work of art. For our series on American Icons, WBUR's Sean Cole - a poet himself took a closer look at Dickinson's legendary work.

    In the spring of 1862 Emily Dickinson initiated a correspondence with the liberal minister and reformer Thomas Wentworth Higginson, whose advice to young authors she recently had read in the Atlantic Monthly and whom she would come to call her "Preceptor." She sent him some of her verse as well, and although he did not rave about her poetry, he clearly found this new writer of considerable interest. Shortly after they began to correspond he evidently asked her to send him a photograph of herself. Her coy reply in July 1862 is justly famous. "Could you believe mewithout?" Dickinson asked, for she "had no portrait, now." But, she continued, "[I] am small, like the Wren, and my Hair is bold, like the Chestnut Burand my eyes, like the Sherry in the Glass, that the Guest leaves." Believing her description accurate, she asked, "Would this do just as well?" This striking verbal portrait is even more significant because of the paucity of images of this famous American writer. Hitherto, she has been known only through an oil painting of the Dickinson children, a silhouette, and a daguerreotype taken ca. 1847 when Emily was in her mid-teens. There was no known image of her as an adult. Now we may have one. Philip Gura recently purchased the item pictured below. This 3 7/8" by 5 1/2" albumen photograph, which originally was mounted on photographer's board, is identified in pencil on the verso in nineteenth-century hand, "Emily Dickinson/Died/r[?]ec[ieved?]/1886 [the year she died]."

    "This is my letter to the world"
    We present actress Julie Harris reading from the poems and letters of Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) lived a reclusive life in Amherst, Massachusetts; she never married. Although she wrote nearly 2,000 poems, only two of them were published during her lifetime. This recording, made in 1961, includes "This is my letter to the world," "The soul selects her own society," "Pain has an element of blank," "Hope is the thing with feathers," "I'm nobody bgcolor="#FFFFFF"! Who are you?", a letter to T. W. Higginson from April 15, 1862, "I'll tell you how the sun rose," "I cautious scanned my little life," "If you were coming in the fall," "My river runs to thee," and a letter to T.W. Higginson from April 25, 1862.
    Content: Emily Dickinson, Part 2
    Actress Julie Harris reads the works of Emily Dickinson. The poems and letters work together to reveal details of Dickinson's physically circumscribed but emotionally complex life. One of three children of a lawyer in Amherst, Massachusetts, Dickinson dressed entirely in white and rarely agreed to meet visitors. This 1961 recording includes a letter to John L. Graves from late April of 1856, the poems "I died for beauty, but was scarce," "There came a wind like a bugle," "Safe in their alabaster chambers," "I years had been from home," "Love is anterior to life," a letter to Otis P. Lord from December 3, 1882, "I cannot live with you," and "My life closed twice before its close." These selections were originally presented as the Tony Award- winning show "The Belle of Amherst."

    The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson

    by Emily Dickinson
    Advertisement:
    Emily Dickinson's Homestead
    This article was written by Jodi Werner Emily Dickinson's Homestead As a junior in high school, studying American Literature for the first time, I claimed Emily Dickinson as my poet. I felt as though I alone were given the gift to decode her poems. The rest of my class wanted to read more accessible poetry; they hated Dickinson's verse and were indifferent to her life story. Her use of elusive imagery and fourth-definition choices for words frustrated them but only increased my desire to study the poems more closely. I wanted to understand enough about Emily Dickinson so that I could emulate her. Advertisement:
    I stayed in many a Saturday night that year, calling myself Dickinsonian and not pathetic. I wrote poems, lots of them, because I wanted to have a collection totaling 1,775like hers. I even started using dashes in my writing. Her perceptions shook the naive grip I had on the world around me: "I heard a fly buzz when I died," she wrote, and no one I had ever met examined the world in that way. She questioned the unknowable, and imagined the impossible. I devoured her poems. Convinced that in getting to know her verse, I could answer not only her life's mysteries but my own as well. This past semester in graduate school I had the opportunity to indulge my fanaticism with a classroom full of Dickinson enthusiasts. Here I learned the danger involved in reading her poems as autobiographies. Her life, though indisputably mysterious, cannot be historically annotated by analyzing her poetry. Like most poets, Dickinson assumes personae in her writing. Sometimes she speaks as the bee, sometimes as the flower, sometimes as countless other things. Reading her into each of her poems is presumptuous and can only lead to false analyses. Perhaps she wished to re-envision her life through her poetry and not accurately record it. I write perhaps because the beautiful truth is that we will never know exactly what she intended to do with her verse.
