Emily Dickinson
In this essay I am going to study the creativity and psychological traits that helped master the excellence of Emily Dickinson’s work. I am going to approach this essay by using five important question usually asked when studying any creative person. What did the individual do/ produce that marked them out as creative? What individual psychological traits were important? How did she achieve recognition for her creativity? Who influenced/ tutored/ trained/ recognised their talent? And why they are still recognised as creative? Emily Dickinson known globally as one of the most inspirational and creative American poets is a very interesting person.

Emily Dickinson born December 10, 1830 was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. Acquaintances describe her voice as soft and childlike, but when she was ready to talk, she would talk nonstop (Kirk, C.A 2004). Dickinson was a force to be reckoned with when it came to the use of language. She was frugal with time and didn’t like to waste it in small talk with people she knew neither for political status nor for financial gain (Kirk, C.A .2004). Emily Dickinson was a driven woman- a woman to create art (Kirk, C.A. 2004) yet according to Grabher, G. 1998 at the centre of any serious investigation of Emily Dickinson’s poetry, is the problem of context. We know very little about the intentions and inspirations that shaped Dickinson’s literary. Every true poet is unique in a certain way and Dickinson’s uniqueness is visually and verbally striking. She is the most instantly recognisable of poets. Her idiosyncratic genius is clearly seen in the imaginatively intense short lyrics without
