The single hound

the long version

Deceptive in its simplicity, Emily Dickinson's verse is a monumental testament to her poetic genius. Encompassing the entire gamut of emotion and feeling, her poems are remarkable for their honesty, often in he face of severe trials and tribulations. Extraordinary, too, is her experimental use of structure and grammar, a device hat has led her to be hailed as one of the most creative and individual poets of the 19th century. Emily Dickinson (1830-86) is one of America's leading experimental poets; her work has been the inspiration for a host of feminist writers.
