Only eleven of Emily Dickinson's poems were published before her death in 1886, and her work was doomed to oblivion during her lifetime due to its astounding originality. Dickinson's audacious experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the extent of her intellectual and emotional investigations were not fully and accurately represented in early posthumously published collections, some of which featured liberally "edited" versions of the poems. The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, was not published until 1995, and readers were able to assess, grasp, and appreciate Dickinson's great creative brilliance for the first time. The original texts of all 1,777 poems she composed are included in this book, which is a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems.
