Thread: 7 Poems?

    7 Poems?

    Before she died, Emily had 7 (others say 9, some 11, but most say 7) poems published. I believe it is possible that they were the 7 she sent Higginson in the first 2 letters to him, but I'm not certain. Can anyone tell me if they are, or if not, what they were? Any help or leads would be appreciated.

    Hello, maniacwithapen, welcome to the forum.
    Most sources claim that, indeed, seven poems gained publication during Dickinson's lifetime. Which specific poems of her 1,800-something earned publication? I have no idea, but also would love to know.

    I know one of the poems that was published during her lifetime was poem 324: "Some keep the Sabbath going to Church—"
