Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) was an American poet whose work has had a profound impact on literature. Living most of her life in isolation, Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems, though only a few were published during her lifetime. Known for her unconventional style—marked by dashes, unusual capitalization, and a departure from traditional rhyme—her poetry delves into themes of death, immortality, nature, and the inner life. I'm Nobody! Who Are You? is one of her most famous works, questioning societal expectations and the value placed on fame, while celebrating the quiet power of being unknown.
