Emily Dickinson s physical isolation and her disinterest in publishing have led scholars to conclude that Dickinson had no interest in the outside world. Although Dickinson s poems do contain war imagery scholars have argued that these images are used by Dickinson to deal with her own inner struggles and are not directly related to the Civil War. However, Karen Dandurand s discovery of poems published by Dickinson in a Civil War fund raising magazine compel us to reconsider Dickinson s supposed disinterest. It is evident by Dickinson s letters and her poems that the war energizes and inspires her by providing questions about life, death, and the responsibility of God. The Civil War was not some abstract idea nor was it merely a metaphor to be used to express her inner demons. The Civil War affected Dickinson in a profound way; therefore, she uses her poetry to explore the effects of war.
