Emily Dickinson is recognized as one of the most iconic poets in American history. However, she did not have that degree of fame during her lifetime. We meet Emily as a young girl and observe her quiet way of interacting with the world, always jotting down her thoughts and feelings in terse verse. Over the years, the poetry increases, but she keeps to herself, retreating more and more as she ages. Did this reclusive woman have any inkling that the world would one day consider her a writer of monumental significance?
