The poetry of Emily Dickinson, almost entirely posthumous, deals with immortality in a way that is absurdly clear at times, a topic people may still have the right to discuss—or not. Everything seems metaphysically paradoxical, suddenly drawing its reasoning from the natural world.
Birds, trees, plants, waters, stones, people, the earth—all become parts of an unprecedented metaphysical argument, a dense fabric of ideas unfolding within the core of the lyrical "I," with mortality as its constant reference.
Emily Dickinson's immortality, forged upon the reality of death, is neither a plea nor a theological axiom; it is a painful working hypothesis for understanding the natural world and a term of its relevance to the human mind.
It is hard to find poetry in the Western world that is as deeply sympathetic to the pain of mortality.
