In addition to poetry, Dickinson had a passion for baking and botany, and became reclusive later in life. While Dickinson was extremely prolific as a poet and regularly enclosed poems in letters to friends, she was not publicly recognized during her lifetime. The first volume of these works was published in 1890, well after her death in 1886. A full compilation, \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of Emily Dickinson\u003c\/i\u003e, wasn't published until 1955, though previous iterations had been released. Dickinson has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Snively, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e, is the author of four books of poetry: \u003ci\u003eFrom This Distance\u003c\/i\u003e (Alice James, 1981), \u003ci\u003eVoices in the House\u003c\/i\u003e (Alabama Poetry Series, 1988), \u003ci\u003eThe Undertow\u003c\/i\u003e (University of Central Florida, 1998), and \u003ci\u003eSkeptic Traveler\u003c\/i\u003e (David Robert Books, 2005).
