In this volume, the poems are presented in chronological order in their original form, unaltered by editorial revision. It offers a wide-angle view of Dickinson's poetic development, from the clunky rhyme schemes of her youth, through valentines she wrote in the early 1850s, to the gloomy writings of her last years.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in 1830 in Amherst Massachusetts. Rightly regarded as a major American poet, her life was sheltered, introverted, and reclusive. Despite writing over 1800 poems, only a dozen or so were published during her lifetime. Her structures and wordings are at times difficult to get to grips with, though recurring themes of religion and death certainly shadow many of her works.

Through her transcendent imagery, distinct punctuation, experimental slant rhyme, and wordplay, Emily Dickinson set herself apart from every other poet of her time. These essential works - thematically divided into poems on life, nature, love, and time and eternity - reveal a keen, humorous observer whose art, like the artist herself, defied tradition.

La vasta produzione è infatti pervasa dalla personalità schiva eppure dirompente che la contraddistinse: gli affetti, la natura, il pensiero ossessivo della morte e dell'abbandono ne sono protagonisti vivi, che Dickinson racconta con uno sguardo in apparenza semplice e ritirato, in realtà ricco di complessità. Nei suoi versi ritroviamo lo scorrere ciclico ma effimero delle stagioni, i fiori e soprattutto gli animali, in grado di risvegliare in lei la più variegata gamma dei sentimenti, dalla repulsione allo sgomento, dall'ironia all'incanto.

"Sillabe del mattino" è una raccolta di brevi poesie di Emily Dickison nella versione in italiano di Roberto Malini.

Non a caso, paragonava la sua arte alla lotta di Giacobbe con l'angelo. Emily passò quasi tutta la sua vita nella casa natìa, che abbandonava solo per visite ai parenti.
