Friends Card
Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886) was an American poet, gardener, baker, and dog-lover. She was a fierce, vulnerable friend and loyal correspondent— though she preferred to live in physical isolation. Dickinson loved life, but was haunted by the "deepening menace" of death, especially the loss of her friends. From this well of love and grief she drew material for 1800 extraordinary, piercing poems, usually written on carefully-folded scraps of paper. When they were published (posthumously) in the 1890s, Dickinson began to take her place among the most influential poets of all time. That, too, is her estate.
