Selected Letters
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This collection gathers letters written by the American poet Emily Dickinson. Across her life she wrote to family members, close friends and other correspondents, and these notes show her in a more private voice than her published poems. They touch on everyday concerns, the natural world, illness and loss, and her thoughts on solitude and on her own writing. Read alongside her verse, the letters offer a personal portrait of one of the most original poets in American literature.
