[{"role": "system", "content": "Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830\u00a0\u2013 May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts. Although part of a prominent family with strong ties to its community, Dickinson lived much of her life in reclusive isolation. After studying at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she briefly attended the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Considered an eccentric by locals, she developed a noted penchant for white clothing and became known for her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, to even leave her bedroom. Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depended entirely upon correspondence. Dickinson was a recluse for the later years of her life. While Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly 1,800 poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love to read and write poetry. I went through a very emotional phase in grade school that inspired quite a few poems about myself. Do you write or read poetry?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I do. I love Emily Dickinson. Her poems are beautiful. She was born in 1830 and died in 1886."}, {"role": "user", "content": "So young. I feel like a lot of those classic artists died young. "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes they did. She had a prominent family but was ultimately a recluse and lived in isolation."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I did not know that about her family or about her. I wonder if she was disgusted or embarrassed by her family, or if it had nothing to do with them and she was just an introvert..."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Probably an introvert. All the locals thought she was eccentric. She became known for only wearing white clothes. At the end, she didn't leave her bedroom."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Wow- it's interesting that she chose white clothes. One would think that those behaviors would draw someone to a darker color. Maybe that's just a stereotype? "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, it is interesting she chose white. She never did marry. Most of her friendships were entirely dependent on correspondence, sadly."}]
