Features: Emily Dickinson is the most legendary woman in America, as well as a great, isolated poet. Her poetry is both exquisite and abundant, with themes of nature, secrets, life and death, and flowers and birds as her most beloved creations. However, she lived in self-imposed seclusion during her lifetime and only gained fame after her death. From being a celebrated socialite to embracing solitude as something that is not frightening or destructive, but rather can soothe the troubles and restlessness of life and help one live with value. This secret diary records Emily Dickinson's entire life—her loves, hates, life, and death. After her death, it was discovered by a carpenter who was renovating her old home over twenty years later. Due to selfish motives, it was hidden again for nearly eighty years before finally being published. Reading Emily Dickinson's solitude and legend, and studying her poetry and thoughts, this diary is worth preserving.
