There is no direct evidence of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson knowing each other personally. While they were both American poets who were writing at the same time, there is no record of them corresponding or meeting. Their works, styles, and themes were also quite different.
Dickinson's poems are sound song like, whereas Whitman's sound conversational.
Emily Dickinson's father, Edward Dickinson, was a prominent lawyer and politician in Amherst, Massachusetts. He also served as a treasurer of Amherst College and was a member of the United States House of Representatives.

Emily Dickinson wrote 1775 poems that we know of. Only twenty were published during her lifetime. after she died, her family discovered the 40 volumes of poetry that she had written, and published them.
Her poems are all numbered, and often are refered to as the first few words of the poem. Here is a website that has a few of her poems. http://www.everypoet.com/archive/poetry/Emily-Dickinson/emily-dickinson-poems-contents.htm

The tone of Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I could not stop for Death" is reflective and contemplative. It explores themes of mortality and the afterlife in a calm and almost conversational manner, emphasizing the inevitability of death and the acceptance of such a journey.
She wrote without titles. Emily's choice of words were precise.Emily wrote about many topics. She did have some favorite ones though. She frequently wrote about death, science, and nature.
Emily Dickinson's exact cause of death is still debated among scholars. Some believe she died from Bright's disease (chronic nephritis), while others argue it was a heart condition. Despite this uncertainty, she passed away on May 15, 1886, at the age of 55.
