Best books to learn Emily Dickinson, in order
Reading Emily Dickinson starts with a decision most poets do not force on you: which edition to buy. She published almost nothing in her lifetime and left nearly 1,800 poems in hand-sewn packets, so every printed text is an editor's reconstruction, and the older editions regularised her dashes and capitals out of existence.
