Emily Dickinson (1830-1885) is America’s greatest woman poet. She wrote 1800 poems, yet she only published 10. Known as a recluse who never married, she likely suffered from epilepsy. She is famous for her slant rhyme, near rhyme, and for not giving her poems titles.  

A Day! Help! Help! Another Day!
Your prayers, oh Passer by!
From such a common ball as this
Might date a Victory!
