When reading the poem “Taking off Emily Dickinson 's Clothes" by Billy Collins many individuals may gather from the poem that it is provocative because Collins is sharing his intimate experience with the public; when in fact the author is referencing how He is getting to know the poet through her work.

Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman are the most representative and brilliant poets of the nineteenth century and in the American literature in general. However, we can also say that, between them, they have the most different styles of writing they can have, just as well as their lives. For example, as Christenbury (n.d.) stated, firstly that Walt Whitman was someone “[…] who struggled to get his poems published and who developed a broad admiring audience during his lifetime.

The only certainty in life is death. It is something that shows up in every single art movement and style. This includes the work of Dickinson who lived when death would have been an ever present reality. She dealt with the death of family members as well as close friends.
