It's all I have to fetch today -- This, and my heart beside -- This, and my heart, and all the fields -- And all the meadows wide -- Be sure you count -- should I forget Some one the sum could tell -- This, and my h

Almost unknown as a poet in her own lifetime in the Victorian era, Emily Dickinson came to be known as one of the foremost of American poets after her work was rediscovered in the 20th century. Up-to-date readers were able to appreciate what 19th century readers were not; Dickinson&#;s short, often untitled poems, with their unusual rhyming schemes and non-standard capitalization and punctuation were considered too abstract and jarring for the gentler Victorian tastes, but for the modern reader, remain refreshing, despite the recurring themes of death and despair.

Born in in Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson&#;s family was well-known and widely valued within the community. Dickinson herself also became well-known to the community; however, she became nearly infamous for her bizarre conduct &#; such as dressing only in white &#; and her refusal to leave home or even her room after completing her education.

Emily Dickinson&#;s Electric Love Letters to Susan Gilbert

Four months before her twentieth birthday, Emily Dickinson (December 10, –May 15, ) met the person who became her first love and remained her greatest &#; an orphaned mathematician-in-training by the name of Susan Gilbert, nine days her junior. Throughout the poet’s life, Susan would be her muse, her mentor, her primary reader and editor, her fiercest lifelong attachment, her “Only Woman in the World.”

I devote more than one hundred pages of Figuring to their beautiful, heartbreaking, unclassifiable relationship that fomented some of the greatest, most original and paradigm-shifting poetry humanity has ever produced. (This essay is drawn from my book.)

Susan Gilbert had settled in Amherst, to be near her sister, after graduating from the Utica Female Academy &#; one of a handful of academically rigorous educational institutions available to women at the time. She entered Dickinson&#;s experience in the summer of , which the poet would later remember as the season “when love first began, on the step at the
