Firstly, I'd like to comment on the stupidity of "Lauren"'s comment. Emily Dickenson is no longer alive. So she cannot possibly write better poems in the future.

Also, I think the beauty of her poem is found in the simplicity. It says a lot about where poems come from. She is saying that poetry and beauty lie not in a book, but in the world. It's genius.
