The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson is a masterful collection of poetry that explores the human soul. Despite her poems being less than two pages long, Dickinson's writing aims for the sublime in both theme and tone. She used unconventional techniques like dashes, off rhymes, and metaphors, which have strongly influenced modern poetry. Her idiosyncratic style and profound observations about life, death, love, nature, and society make her one of America's true poetic geniuses.
