The Posthumous Discovery of Dickinson's Poems. When Emily Dickinson died in 1886, she was unknown as a poet outside of a small circle of family and friends. Dickinsonâs poetic legacy consisted of almost 1800 poems, and no instructions about what to do with them.
It should be noted that both the award and the fellowships are still quite prestigious and generous. The Emily Dickinson First Book Award is a $10,000 prize given to an American poet of at least 40 years of age who has yet to publish a first collection of poetry. In addition to that very specific criteria, the award is given out only occasionally, at the discretion of the foundation.
