I owe a note of thanks to Thom Tammaro and Sheila Coghill for staying in touch about the poem suggestions they are receiving since their book was published. I am also in debt to the various people who have sent me suggestions of found or new poems, especially those in single collections (as those are obviously harder to find in traditional catalogues). Finally, without the support of Martha Nell Smith, this project would not have a voice. While this list is thorough, it is not exhaustive. Please send documentation of additional poems you come across to Elizabeth Aracic who may be reached via the Program Manager at rnmooney@umd.edu. The MLA citation for this page is: Aracic, Elizabeth. "Poems about Emily Dickinson: a list of poems to and about Emily Dickinson published in the last 100 years." Titantic Operas: A Poets' Corner of Responses to Dickinson's Legacy. Ed. Martha Nell Smith. 1999-present.
