description: Reprinted for the first time in almost a century, The Single Hound is the first volume of Emily Dickinson’s collected poems. Deceptive in its simplicity, Emily Dickinson’s verse is a monumental testament to her poetic genius. Encompassing the entire gamut of emotion and feeling, her poems are remarkable for their honesty, often in the face of severe trials and tribulations. Extraordinary, too, is her experimental use of structure and grammar, a device that has led her to be hailed as one of the most creative and individual poets of the 19th century. Emily Dickinson is one of America’s leading experimental poets; her work has been the inspiration for a host of feminist writers.
