Hannah Ostrow Professor Janoff Perspectives in American Literature October 21‚ 2012 Midterm Question #1 Emily Dickinson writes her poetry with startling different perspective‚ bold metaphors and similes‚ and deceptive simplicity. In each of her poems you can recognize her unmistakable personal voice. Her poems also often can be related to the human condition.
