Death surrounded Emily Dickinson in life which impacted her works of poetry.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born to Edward Dickinson and Emily Norcross on December 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts.  Later in life she was known as America's Greatest Poet.  She attended the Amherst Academy and graduated in 1844.  She had an elder brother named Austin and a younger sister named Lavina.  At sixteen she was sent away to school.  Emily led a very private life and only ten of her poems were published while she was living.   During the 1850's, she began to withdraw from society.

She started to live in a private world and became more solitary.  She even was a recluse, dressing in nothing but white.  Many people wondered about the mystery of her behavior. As a result of these changes, her poetry changed drastically. She used the form of writing that was the intimate and closest to the heart.  She put herself in her work as she was experiencing it at that moment.  That is why it is so easily seen as life, death, love, and nature.  Her poems were very empty of people because she shut people out of her life like she shut people out of her poems.  These deaths that took place in her life were the results of her work.
