Poems: Series Two 
By Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) 


"The eagerness with which the first volume of Emily Dickinson's poems 
has been read shows very clearly that all our alleged modern artificiality 
does not prevent a prompt appreciation of the qualities of directness and 
simplicity in approaching the greatest themes,—life and love and death. 
That “irresistible needle-touch," as one of her best critics has called it, 
piercing at once the very core of a thought, has found a response as wide 
and sympathetic as it has been unexpected even to those who knew best 
her compelling power. This second volume, while open to the same 
criticism as to form with its predecessor, shows also the same shining 
beauties." (Summary by Mabel Loomis Todd, from Preface)
