Emily Dickinson: Nao Sou Ninguem

Rate this book
Emily Dickinson nasceu em Amherst, Massachusetts, em 1830, e morreu na mesma cidade em 1886. Por volta de 1860, iniciou a fase madura de sua poesia e, salvo dez poemas divulgados em jornal, a obra de Emily só foi difundida após a sua morte. De intensa emoção concentrada, sua poesia é única e antecipatória em termos de densidade léxica e liberdade sintática. A primeira edição trazia 45 poemas e esta, revista e ampliada, traz 35 novas traduções.

Emily 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.

Só tenho a dizer: eu amo esta mulher!

Morrer por ti era pouco.
Qualquer grego o fizera.
Viver é mais difícil —
É esta a minha oferta —

Morrer é nada, nem
Mais. Porém viver importa
Morte múltipla — sem
O Alívio de estar morta.

a “esperança” se crava
com penas na alma —
seu canto sem palavras —
nunca para —

e — ao vento — é ainda mais suave.
triste será a tormenta —
que desalente essa ave
que a tantos alimenta —

ouvi esse ser de penas
no mais intenso frio —
mas — nunca — me pediu
uma migalha — apenas.

Não entendo de tradução mas algumas delas não transmitiam tão bem os poemas... como uma das intenções do tradutor era exatamente ser fiel à métrica / rimas no final acho que deu certo. E como sempre a emily dickinson é genial. Dito isso eu não sei se é pela minha falta de costume com poesia ou pelo formato dos poemas dela mas foi uma leitura meio densa.

As palavras da Emilly são extremamente poéticas, acho que nunca senti isso com nenhum autor, toda vez que eu leio eu sinto a poesia em todos os seus traços, nos versos
Amo como ela olha coisas tão simples e cria simbolismos para elas, mesmo com uma vida tão reclusa ela sabia tanto

as palavras e sua arte irão ressoar para sempre, especialmente em mim

i am completely obsessed with emily dickinson and her writing!

my favorite poems were:
★ the martyr poets
★ pain—has an element of blank
★ i many times thought peace had come
★ too scanty ’twas to die for you
★ a word is dead
★ yesterday is history
