Good Overview of Dickinson's Life & Poetry

What sets Emily Dickinson's poetry apart from that of her peers? How did Dickinson's education, family life, and religious struggles influence her poetry? Why did Dickinson dress only in white and confine herself to her home for the last 20 years of her life? The author ponders these questions and more in this short work written for middle school students. Included are some of Dickinson's poems, excerpts from her letters, and numerous illustrations of her friends, family and acquaintances.
