Many poets are introverts. This was true for Emily Dickinson. She lived a quiet life during which she wrote more than a thousand poems. However, only a few of them were published (anonymously at that), so she wasn’t getting much money.
Her poems came to light only after she passed away in 1886. Her family found 40 volumes of poems that she had put together. Amherst College ended up buying her family’s home and made it into a museum.
