EMILY DICKINSON'S POETRY REFLECTS HER LONELINESS AND THE SPEAKERS OF HER POEMS GENERALLY LIVE IN A STATE OF WANT,BUT HER POEMS ARE ALSO MARKED BY THE INTIMATE RECOLLECTION OF INSPIRATIONAL MOMENTS WHICH ARE DECIDEDLY LIFE-GIVING AND SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY OF HAPPINESS. HER WORK HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE METAPHYSICAL POETS OF SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND,AS WELL AS HER READING OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND HER UPBRINGING IN A PURITAN NEW ENGLAND TOWN WHICH ENCOURAGED A CALVINIST,ORTHODOX AND CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO CHRISTIANITY.
