'It's coming - the postponeless Creature'

Electrifying poems of isolation, beauty, death and eternity from a reclusive genius and one of America's greatest writers.

One of 46 new books in the bestselling Little Black Classics series, to celebrate the first ever Penguin Classic in 1946. Each book gives readers a taste of the Classics' huge range and diversity, with works from around the world and across the centuries - including fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles and elephants.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was born in Amherst, Massachusetts. When volumes of her poems began to be published in the 1890s, she and her work became a sensation. Over four decades Dickinson carried on an erotically-charged intimate correspondence of poems, letters, and letter-poems with her beloved sister-in-law Susan Dickinson, sending her far more of her literary works than she sent to any other, and in this trove is the only instance we have of Dickinson rewriting a poem to suit her reader.
