The eagerness with which the first volume of Emily Dickinson's poems has been read shows very clearly that all our alleged modern arti-ficiality does not prevent a prompt appreciation of the qualities of directness and simplicity in approaching the greatest themes, — life and love and death. That "irresistible needle-touch," as one of her best critics has called it, piercing at once the very core of a thought, has found a response as wide and sympathetic as it has been unexpected even to those who knew best her compelling power. This second volume, while open to the same criticism as to form with its predecessor, shows also the same shining beauties. - Mabel Loomis Todd
After her death, friends of Emily’s compiled her poems and had them printed in three small volumes that sold and sold and sold.
My parents, grandparents and great-grandparents loved these poems as presented by her friends. In the mid-20th century, two generations and two world wars after her death, the academic community declared that these friends of Emily did not know what they were doing, and proceeded to re-write her history and her poems to fit their pre-conceived ideas of her work.
We present these poems as they originally appeared to the public who truly loved and admired her work.
