MARTHA DICKINSON BIANCHI(1866 - 1943) was the niece of Emily Dickinson and the only daughter of Austin and Susan Dickinson. In a life marked with tragedy, Bianchi excelled as a pianist and received her formal education at the Smith College School of Music, had a short marriage to Captain Alexander Bianchi, before finally pursuing a career as a poet and novelist in her late 30s. While she would go on to write The Cuckoo's Nest,A Cossack Lover andThe Kiss of Apollo, Bianchi was best known for collecting and editing her aunt's poetry, in particular, 1914's The Single Hound, which led to a revival of interest in her aunt's work.
