1 Emily Dickinson By: Michael Gayton

2 Basic info She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts On December 10 1830. She was a recluse and hardly left her house. Her friends barely ever saw her they only wrote to each other.

3 Her poetry She wrote nearly 1800 poems. Her work was published after her death. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation.

4 God permits industrious angels GOD permits industrious angels Afternoons to play. I met one,—forgot my school-mates, All, for him, straightway. God calls home the angels promptly 5 At the setting sun; I missed mine. How dreary marbles, After playing Crown!

5 I went to Heaven I WENT to heaven,— ’T was a small town, Lit with a ruby, Lathed with down. Stiller than the fields 5 At the full dew, Beautiful as pictures No man drew. People like the moth, Of mechlin, frames, 10 Duties of gossamer, And eider names. Almost contented I could be ’Mong such unique 15 Society.
