Final answer:

Two important works by Emily Dickinson are 'Poems' and 'Because I could not stop for Death', both belonging to the genre of lyric poetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two other important works by Emily Dickinson and their genres are:

  1. Poems (Lyric Poetry): Dickinson's most prolific years (1861-1865) produced a collection of poems that illustrate her mastery of the lyric, a short poem that often expresses a single theme such as the speaker's mood or feeling. Examples of her poems include 'I taste a liquor never brewed' and 'The Soul selects her own Society'.
  2. Because I could not stop for Death (Lyric Poetry): This famous poem by Dickinson demonstrates her precise control over the speaker's relationship to the natural world and the divine. It presents the idea that death is always present and potential but not to be feared.
