Emily Dickinson was a prolific poet, but the world would not know that in her lifetime. Only ten of her poems were published when she was alive, and not a one of them was published under her name. Now today she is one of the most celebrated poets of all time. Not only did she leave behind poems, but she also left behind mysteries. Who all did Emily love in her lifetime? Was she a lesbian? Was she bisexual? Why did she shut herself off from the world later in her life? This episodes tries to answer some of those questions.
