This article discusses the book "Further Poems of Emily Dickinson," edited by Martha Dickinson Bianchi and Alfred Leete Hampson. Poems by Emily Dickinson might be taken as a text far several sermons on the quality of her art. She is so much the best of women poets, and comes so near the crown of all poetry whatsoever, that her art, being in the very nature of the case somewhat mysterious, has been little talked about and that little feebly. Her life was necessary for her poetry and of course her feelings were, but a still greater importance attaches to that other life which she lived in her quick thoughts.
