What You'll Find Here

The website is intentionally kept simple for quick and easy access to information about the poet. Besides this one, there are only 4 pages on the website, yet these 4 pages are packed with information that is useful for readers, students, and scholars. One page, perhaps most helpful to students, offers "Fast Facts" about the poet's life and work. The "Bibliography" page is maintained in MLA (Modern Language Association) documentation style. The "Links" page, a highlight of the site, offers an extensive listing of available online Dickinson resources. A fourth page is a "Photo Album" of Dickinson-related images. News in Dickinson studies or other relevant information appears on the "Home" page.

EMILY DICKINSON: A BIOGRAPHY by Connie Ann Kirk

Kirk's biography of Emily Dickinson has been called by reviewers "the definitive young adult biography," "groundbreaking," and "a scholarly achievement." It is especially useful to young adult readers and those new to the poet, but one reviewer noted that it "also serve[s] undergraduates and the general reader wanting an up-to-date overview of Dickinson scholarship." The book is used more and more frequently in college courses where a slimmer, yet current, accurate, and highly readable biography of the poet is desired. The book is available from Amazon.com, from Barnes & Noble.com, Powells.com, or by order from your favorite bookseller.
