EMILY DICKINSON "LOVE POEMS" PETER PAUPER EDITION 1952-1962

Published by The Peter Pauper Press, 1952- 1962

“When the first volume of her poetry was published in 1890, four years after her death, it met with stunning success. Going through 11 editions in less than two years, the poems eventually extended far beyond their first household audiences. Dickinson is now known as one of the most important American poets, and her poetry is widely read among people of all ages and interests.” - Poetry Foundation
