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.
Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in South Hadley, but only for one year. Throughout her life, she seldom left her home and visitors were few. The people with whom she did come in contact, however, had an enormous impact on her poetry.
