Emily Dickinson always seemed like an interesting person and poet
Yes, Ms Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was a very famous poet from America who was born in December of 1830 and passed away in May of 1886.
56 years isnt too bad for back then.
Good point! That was probably OLD for the time! lol  She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Oh so New England? Makes sense since that was where we started off.
Yes, Ms. Dickinson came from a very prominent family. She did live most of her life, however, in isolation. 
Thats too bad, she made such great work though.
It is very sad. Most considered her to be quite eccentric and she developed a penchant for wearing white and her reluctance to meeting with guests and later in life to even leave her bedroom.
