Emily was born in Massachusetts. Throughout her life she was considered eccentric, wearing mostly white clothing and although she studied at several colleges in her youth, as she grew older she shunned social contact she ended up becoming a recluse. She communicated mostly through written correspondence, and although she had a few poems published in her life time it wasn鈥檛 till after her death that some 1800 poems were discovered by her younger sister in hand stitched books.

Her style of poetry worked against the typical style of the time, and dealt with the themes of death and immortality.
