Dickinson wrote about things from her actual life that inspired her such as death and religion. As a detailed observer she also used things from nature and tons of metaphors. My favorite was in her poem "Because I could not stop for Death" where she successfully turns death into a lovely gentleman caller.
Emily Dickinson titled fewer than 10 of her almost 1800 poems. Her poems are now generally known by their first lines or by the numbers assigned to them by posthumous editors
Dickinson used a lot of dashes in her poem rather than periods or commas.
She also used pathos to appeal to her readers
Emily Dickinson is one of my favorite poets. I love how short yet meaningful they are! I think it's so unique and interesting how she barely titled any of her work. I too ended my blog posts for this class with a blog about her. If you get time to read it, I hope you enjoy! Nice post!
