Dickinson
Reclusive Massachusetts poet
Dickinson is a surname, most notably associated with Emily Dickinson (1830–1886), the American poet known for her unconventional punctuation, slant rhyme, and reclusive life in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Her spare, enigmatic verse—much of it unpublished during her lifetime—secured her reputation as one of America's greatest poets.
The name also belongs to several U.S. places, including a city in North Dakota.
