edited by thomas h. johnson.
collection of all 1,775 poems by american poet emily dickinson. many will be surprised to learn that the reclusive dickinson, who frequently wore all white, was little-known during her lifetime. dickinson only published 10 poems and one letter. after her death, her sister lavinia discoevered her massive cache of unpublished works and helped make them public. a complete collection of her poetry first became available in 1955 when johnson first published "the complete poems of emily dickinson."
