A glance at one of her poems might suggest that she was a fairly simple poet, although a closer examination of her verses would reveal the complexity within them. Dickinson's poem "I Felt a Burial, in My Brain" is an excellent example of complicity embodied in simple style and language. In this play, Dickinson recounts the psychic fall. The use of many different devices such as sound, repetition, and metaphors all help to develop the theme of the poem. Perhaps the best way for the reader to discover the meaning of the poem in question is to peek into the world of the poet. Emily Dickinson lived alone (emotionally) in a world that she filled with her poetry and letters. Dickinson rejected her upbringing and religious background, which had the effect of severing her ties to other members of her society. Much of her poetry served as therapy in which she could record and sort through her thoughts and feelings. She did not write for an audience. This is an important fact to know when reading his intimate poetry and trying to make sense of it. It could be suggested that she did not experience the world as constant, and it is as if her poetry reflects this. Much of his poetry is about a reaction to a certain situation, and there are many contradictions in his work. Dickinson's poem "I Felt a Funeral in My Brain" tells of an intimate battle within itself. The first stanza of the poem serves as an introduction to the reader. It tells how the poet views her men... middle of paper... the society in which she lived, and her rejection had consequences. Poems like this illustrate how the Church appeared in every aspect of life, and even though she chose not to accept it, it was still a part of her. Her outward resentment towards the Church left a void in her life which, one might assume, acted as a catalyst for the mental breakdown she describes in this poem. Emily Dickinson was a poet very different from other poets of her time. The fact that she withdraws from society and is a woman makes her poetry very unique. Having no contact with other poets of his time, his style was quite original. Because she was not writing for an audience, many of her poems are deeply personal. It is up to readers of Dickinson's poetry to escape from reality and escape into the many recesses of her mind..
