An irgendeinem Sommermorgen
Zwischen Ekstase, Klarheit und Ironie
Emily Dickinson unternahm weitere Reisen als so mancher Dichter ihrer Zeit, doch ihre Reisen führten sie in die belebte Stille ihres Gartens und in die Ruhe ihres sonnigen Zimmers, wo sie auf das Leben der amerikanischen Provinz blicken oder in der Ferne die Natur beobachten konnte. In dieser Abgeschiedenheit entstanden poetische Selbsterkundungen, zugleich ekstatisch und nüchtern, ironisch und ernsthaft. Diese Auswahl lädt dazu ein, die Poesie der wohl einflussreichsten amerikanischen Lyrikerin im Original und in deutscher Übersetzung zu entdecken.

About the author
Emily Dickinson
1,558 books6,857 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.

I love Emily Dickinson and her writing makes me like her sapphic ass even more!
However, I had a hard time getting the "idea" of some of the poems when I read them for the first time, so I will be doing some research& re-reading!!
