     No one is sure why Emily Dickinson voluntaryly withdrew from the world. She was still a young woman when she retreated into her room. Not even her family knew that she was writing hundreds of poems. Was her isolation injuryous to her? Did she feel great lonelyness? Was she filled with annoiance at everyday problems? The only answers are her poems, testifiing to her rich inner life. Today those poems are classics of American literature.
