Emily Dickinson

Choose 3-4 of Dickinson’s poems to enjoy. Read your selections two or three times to really absorb the emotions and meaning. You can definitely sense her isolation and imagination in her writing.

Give a brief summary (3-4 sentences) of Dickinson’s life story. (Think biography-type information, including dates or years of birth and death.) Then tell me the titles of the three poems that you read. (Remember, poetry titles are punctuated with quotation  marks.) Write a brief summary of one of those 3 poems.
