Emily Dickinson Was born in Amherst, Massachusetts on December 10, 1830. When she was a teenager she left school and stay at the families homestead. She wrote lots of poem and they were published by a family member when she died. She died on May 15, 1886. She is a well know poet.

Young emily was very smart student. He farther was very strict mostly on reading. She always respected her father. Emily’s Father founded Amherst Collage. Later, Emily was educated at Amherst Academy (now Amherst Collage) and Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. She missed lots of days due to illness and depression but always an amazing student. She left in 1848 it was unknown why she left.

Her inspiration in poetry were  influenced by Leonard Humphrey, principal of Amherst Academy, and a family friend named Benjamin Franklin Newton. Emily early left the families homestead. Her mother died in 1882. She was very depressed then.

Emily Dickinson died on May 15, 1886 due to kidney disease. She was laid to rest in her family plot at West Cemetery. The Homestead, where Dickinson was born is now a museum. After she died the thousand of poems were slowly being published. Lots of her poem titles were the first line with what number it was. She was know for depressing poem and about people.

My favorite poem of hers is There is no Frigate like a Book (1286). It describes how a book is a like a ship. It takes you somewhere. That very true books take you on a journey. Emily Dickinson lived an odd life but a she wrote amazing poems. She may have not approved on getting them published but if not she would not have her poems for everyone to see.
