ABSTRACT
The scholastic cognition of the language of Emily Dickinson, one of the finest poets of her times and times thereafter too, however, is perceivably best exhibited in her contemplation of the natural world. The enthusiasm with which Dickinson celebrates Nature was so much a concern of importance as to impinge on the poet’s thought and cognizance. She examines the deep-seated investigations of both avant-garde poetry and those of the conventional lyric. She closely considers “the Outside” and the “in” of objects and efforts to demonstrate the correlation between the two. The paper attempts to demonstrate Dickinson’s use of poetic language, in her “Nature” poems, by she sought to subvert the idea of the centrality of the “logos”, by way of bringing in Jacques Derrida’s idea of “phallogocentrism” into context, and make the voice of the female poet conspicuous, heard, and acknowledged.
