She is one of the most famous Anglo-Saxon poets. Emily Dickinson's fearless exploration of the heart, her enchanting tone, and her linguistic idiosyncrasies are unique. Her verses, although already 150 years old, are rightly read as modern poetry worldwide. This edition of Dickinson presents more than 600 poems in a bilingual format and offers surprising new perspectives on the American poet, who has previously been regarded as a hidden gem in Germany. The translation was awarded the Paul Scheerbart Prize by the Hamburger Rowohlt Foundation in 2008.
