In 1993 the University of North Carolina Press published New Poems of Emily Dickinson, a volume containing 498 new poems embedded in Dickinson’s letters by UT researchers. William H. Shurr, professor of English; Anna Dunlap; and Shurr’s daughter, Emily (UT sophomore at the time) followed up Shurr’s discovery in 1991 that portions of Dickinson’s letters contained poems—passages rhymed and had meter—and were characterized by Dickinson’s distinctive punctuation.
