Answer :

Answer:

She capitalizes common nouns.

She regularly uses the dash.

Explanation:

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (1830 – 1886) was an American poet. She is famous for her poems which often explore the theme of death and mortality, but also for the unusual punctuation that she uses in her work.

Dickinson often capitalized nouns (and also other words) to highlight their meaning. She would often use dashes instead of periods or commas.

Here is an example of her poem "Because I Could Not Stop For Death":

Because I could not stop for Death

He kindly stopped for me

The Carriage held but just Ourselves –

And Immortality.

As seen in this excerpt, nouns "Death", "Carriage" and "Immortality" are capitalized, together with the pronoun "Ourselves." Moreover, dashes are used after each line.
