Abstract: In her life, Emily Dickinson totally wrote about 1800 poems and left more than 1400 letters. Except a short time of leaving her fathers house for study, travel and the treatment of illness, she just stayed at her fathers house. And in her last 20 years of life, she even didnt get out of it, thats why was was known as being seclusive. Though she seclusive at home，protecting herself in her home space, she tried to expand her spiritual spaces. On the one hand, after doing the house chores, taking care of parents, gardening, she got communication space by reading newspapers, magazines and books. Ont the other hand, she got the poetic space of freedom by writing poems. Emily was not truly seclusive because of her bodily seclusion. In fact, while staying in a limited, undisturbed practical space, she expanded her spiritual spaces and naturally made herself a great poet.

Key words: Emily Dickinson, home space, garden space, communication space, poetic space of freedom

摘要： 艾米莉·狄金森一生写了1800余首诗歌，留下的书信多达1400多封，但是她除了短暂的离家求学、旅行和治病，大部分时间都居住在父亲的家宅中。在人生最后二十年，更是足不出户，甚至被后人称为隐匿诗人。虽然她把自己隐匿在家，身处自我受到保护的家宅空间，却努力拓展自己的精神空间，在做家务伺候父母和照料花园之余，通过阅读书刊和书信往来，获得与外部世界接触的交际空间；她又通过具有原创性的诗歌创作，获得实现自我潜在能力的自由的诗意空间。艾米莉并没有因所谓的隐匿而隐匿，而是在有限的、不受外界过多打扰的现实空间里拓展精神空间，不知不觉中成为一位杰出的诗人。
