when was emily dickinson's complete poetry collection first published?
1858
although dickinson's acquaintances were likely aware of her writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when lavinia, dickinson's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of her work became public. her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances thomas wentworth higginson and mabel loomis todd, though both heavily edited the content. a 1998 "new york times" article revealed that of the many edits made to dickinson's work, the name "susan" was often deliberately removed. at least 11 of dickinson's poems were dedicated to sister-in-law susan huntington gilbert dickinson, though all the dedications were obliterated, presumably by todd. a complete, and mostly unaltered, collection of her poetry became available for the first time when scholar thomas h. johnson published "the poems of emily dickinson" in 1955.
