<s>[INST] Dickinson was never interested in her poetry being published in her lifetime. Her poetry wasn't published until she died.
That's a myth.
Now I know what you're thinking. "But I've always been told that Emily Dickinson never wanted to publish her poetry during her lifetime!"
You are correct that many people believed this and it's true that only a handful of her poems were published while she was alive.
However, research has confirmed that there are at least a few instances in which Dickinson actively sought to share her poetry with a wider audience.
According to historical records, in 1862, Dickinson sent her poetry to Thomas Higginson, a literary critic and editor, in the hopes of receiving feedback and possibly getting her work published.
Later, in 1866, Dickinson wrote to James Thomas Fields, the editor of the Atlantic Monthly magazine, mentioning that she had a few poems she'd like him to review.
In another instance, Dickinson even created a list of poems she had shared with her friend, Helen Hunt Jackson, who was also a poet. This list is now known as the "Helen Hunt Jackson List" and it's a valuable resource for scholars to understand which poems Dickinson thought were suitable for publication.
So, while it's true that not many of Dickinson's poems were published during her lifetime, the myth that she never wanted to publish her poetry is an oversimplification of the facts.
There is no definitive proof that Dickinson explicitly stated she didn't want to publish her poetry, and the evidence suggests that she did attempt to share her work with a wider audience through various channels.
