Emily Dickinson Today

Sadly, Dickinson’s parents suffered from strokes a year apart. She actually had befriended Benjamin Franklin as well for a few years. 

Upon her death, Dickinson’s family discovered over forty handbound volumes of unpublished works totaling nearly 1800 masterpieces, many of which are now collected as The Manuscript Books Of Emily Dickinson. Her genius lives on in her poetic gifts to humanity.
