          Sinopsis
          PREFACE.THE verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called "the Poetry of the Portfolio,"—something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and the unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was absolutely no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without setting her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a very few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print, during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiously indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness.
          Acerca de Emily Dickinson

          Emily Dickinson nació en 1830 en Amherst, una pequeña ciudad de Massachusetts, en el seno de una familia influyente (su padre, Edward, abogado eminente, era diputado en el Congreso de Estados Unidos). Después de haber estudiado en la Academia de Amherst, en 1847 entró en el Seminario femenino de Mount Holyoke, aunque interrumpió sus estudios al año siguiente, afectada por una fuerte nostalgia por su familia y el paisaje natal. Excluidas algunas breves estancias en Washington, Filadelfia y Boston, llevó una vida retirada y solitaria en la casa paterna de Amherst, ocupándose del jardín, escribiendo poesía y manteniendo una extensa correspondencia con amigos y tutores. Murió en 1886. Su obra, integrada por 1.775 poemas, de los cuales no llegó a publicar ni una decena en vida, hace de ella una de las voces más significativas de la literatura norteamericana.
