Emily Dickinson's work is known for its complex themes, unique use of punctuation and syntax, and exploration of death, love, nature, and the human experience. She often used slant rhyme and unconventional structure in her poetry and is considered one of the most distinctive poets in American literature.

Of her nearly 1,800 poems, only 10 are known to have been published during her lifetime. Her family and friends published most of her work posthumously.

Her sister Lavinia actively promoted her work after Emily's death in 1886.

Her complete works were published in 1955.

No.

When she was alive, her writing was not well known. Only a few of these poems were published in her lifetime. After her death, they were collected into book collections.
