Anne-Marie Fyfe is influenced by Emily Dickinson, who lived as a recluse in Massachusetts.

Anne-Marie Fyfe explores what draws her to the work of Emily Dickinson, who lived as a reclused in Massachusetts.

Anne-Marie Fyfe grew up in the 1960s in a small coastal town in North Antrim and writes poems about this and the cosmopolitan life of London. However, the writer who has influenced her most is Emily Dickinson. Fyfe explores what draws her to the poet who spent her reclusive life in Amherst, Massachusetts, in the mid 19th century writing nearly 1800 poems distinguished by strange sparky imagery and fractured punctuation.

Contemporary poets talk about poets whose work has influenced their own

Anne-Marie Fyffe explains how the poems of Emily Dickinson, who lived a reclusive life in Amherst, Massachusetts, spoke to her as a young woman growing up in Northern Ireland.
