What was Emily Dickinsons style of writing?

Answer 1

Emily Dickinson of Amherst, Massachusetts would write poems almost each and every day to express each and every emotion. Dickinson's style, her poems; they did not formaly fit that of the styles being taught in those times. Even today, an inexperienced reader may not necessarily understand how she used bad grammar to accentuate the more dramatic points in her poems. Her style of writing often included poems of morbid scenes of death and the uglier truth of dying as she saw it. Dickinson did in fact see a significant number of deaths. She truly was able to visualize and experience death without actually dying. In her hundreds of, probably more, originally un-published poems; it is said that her perspective, her outlook on the events that went on in her in her life had decided to be felt by letting the emotions spill from her pen and onto the paper. This explains her almost deliberate and poetic rebellion along with her declaration against the taught writing methods and styles of that time. Her writing seemed to flow from her mind as it came about in her thoughts rather than poetry we read today. This poetry flows too, but today's poetry flows because we have written it over and over and over again. Editing and proofreading until the words are so polished and so clean it does not even seem like a natural, free form of expression anymore. Today's poetry is unlike Dickinson's in that it is not of thoughts and emotions - tangled into each other as they would if it were written naturally, or by Emily Dickinson herself. Unfortunately for her, she was a poet who would not be recognized as one of America's literary giants until long after she passed away. Only then would people recognize that writing, especially poetry, was just like music and music's song writers. It would be poetry like Dickinson's and like music that did more than coin some catchy phrases or new dances. Poetry was like music that made you stop whatever you were doing, wherever you where. Music that made our hearts like instruments and the poetic song writers that could carefully play our emotions. Emily Dickinson's writing style simply spelled out, however informally, the passions and truths about life, about her life and her experiences.
