In a poetic tradition where the male poet takes the female as the aesthetic object, Li Qingzhao has made remarkable achievements by employing delicate style in her poems, esp. her love poems to present her life experience and boldly express a woman’s own desire. Emily Dickinson makes up a world of love in her poems to experience love and gain emotional satisfaction from it, which induces more and more passionate yearning for love in her poems. As a result, many of Dickinson’s poems display a self-denial that is close to violence and hence opens up a way for Dickinson to express herself as a woman poet. The two poets’ love poems demonstrate that unique life experience and the desire of self-expression are the fundamental reasons that they become great women poets.
