The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson is the only one-volume edition containing all Emily Dickinson's poems.
The editor, Thomas H. Johnson, has presented the poems in their original texts; and where alternate readings were suggested, he has chosen only those which the poet evidently preferred.
His introduction includes a brief explanation of his selection of texts as well as an outline of Emily Dickinson's career.
Emily Dickinson (1830-86) was born in Amherst, Massachussetts, where she lived most of her life as a recluse, seldom leaving the house or receiving visitors. She published just a handful of poems in her lifetime, her first collection appearing posthumously in 1890.
