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.
Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.
