Poesías Completas Tomo I
PRESENTAMOS en este tomo primero de las Poesías completas de Emily Dickinson los poemas que van del número 1 al número 600, siguiendo siempre la edición canónica de Johnson (1955). Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) fue una mujer culta y avanzada a su tiempo. Por expreso deseo de su padre, se formó en un internado femenino donde llegó a dominar las más diversas materias, como el latín, la astronomía o la botánica. Lectora ávida, admiraba a las hermanas Brontë y entre sus influencias son fundamentales las de la Biblia y Shakespeare. Dickinson es, a la vez, una poeta coloquial y mística, cercana y metafísica a un tiempo. La poeta supo explorar los más profundos misterios de la existencia expresándolos con las palabras más cotidianas. Sus poemas reúnen el doble requisito de toda gran poesí presentar mensaje y aura, esto es, decir cosas importantes y decirlas tocada por la gracia del espíritu. La obra de Dickinson es una aspiración al pleno espíritu y como tal ha de ser leída. Representa el afán de conseguir lo más alto sin renunciar, y aquí está su grandeza, a lo más humilde. Estos primeros 600 poemas presentan un universo sensual e intuitivo, una mística de la exploración de lo sagrado y lo pasajero, de lo divino y lo más humano. Harold Bloom dijo de la autora que supo desarrollar otra manera de ver, casi en la oscuridad. Emily Dickinson nació en Amherst (Massachusetts, Estados Unidos), en 1830, y allí también falleció en 1886.

About the author
Emily Dickinson
1,555 books6,836 followersEmily Dickinson was an American poet who, despite the fact that less than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime, is widely considered one of the most original and influential poets of the 19th century.
Dickinson was born to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence.
Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. 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.Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.
Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, both of whom heavily edited the content.
A complete and mostly unaltered collection of her poetry became available for the first time in 1955 when The Poems of Emily Dickinson was published by scholar Thomas H. Johnson. Despite unfavorable reviews and skepticism of her literary prowess during the late 19th and early 20th century, critics now consider Dickinson to be a major American poet.

Definitivamente Emily Dickinson es mi poetisa favorita. Su poesía es tan particular que pocos autores he leído yo con esa mente tan extraordinaria. Tiene poemas muy diferentes entre sí, pero sin duda mis favoritos son los de la muerte y el amor.
Le doy cinco estrellas porque se lo merece bien merecido, son unos poemas únicos, que te trasportan al significado de vivir y te devuelven el alma en todo su esplendor. Magníficos. Ya he leído 600 de 1800 poemas, mi objetivo es leerlos todos.

Primera vez leyendo poesía. Bien me dijo un amigo lector que se leían muchos poemas pero solo unos te tocaban. Del primer tomo de Emily debo reconocer que no entendí el 99.5% de los poemas 🤣, pero ese 0.5% removió lo más profundo del alma, llegan justo al corazón, lo que son tus verdades más íntimas. También leí de un famoso periodista que si quieres ser más humano, mejor persona debes leer poesía. Vamos a ver si mejoro la comprensión con el tomo II y III.

Otro libro que me leí el año pasado y no apunté por el poco uso que le daba a esta app. Pongo fechas un poco inventadas, pero sé que fue por ahí.
Todavía no he comprado los dos siguientes tomos pero me gustó mucho su poesía y su voz poética, los recursos y la riqueza del lenguaje. Tal vez lo que menos me atrajo fue que, a medida que avanzaba la lectura (no es tan densa como parece) me pareció (no sé si es solo en este tomo) muy centrada en el cielo y la muerte, lo cual me resultó repetitivo en las imágenes que expresaba.
