This is a brief but thorough biographical and bibliographical reference page for Dickinson's life and work, courtesy of the Academy of American Poets.

More info on the poet's life and work (and other interesting tidbits) can be found at the Emily Dickinson Museum's website. The museum is in her hometown, Amherst, Massachusetts.

A scholarly website from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Check out analysis of some of Dickinson's poetry, and also articles on topics like Dickinson's dashes.

This site has promise but is a little hard to navigate. But once you look around, you'll find great links to Dickinson's letters, writings by her family members, and articles by professor-types.

One group sets out to prove that you can sing any Emily Dickinson poem to "The Yellow Rose of Texas," no matter how grim the poem is (in this case, the poem is "I felt a Funeral in my Brain")
