Zijn rol als redacteur van Emily Dickinsons Selected Poems was cruciaal voor het vestigen van haar postume literaire reputatie. Aiken speelde een belangrijke rol bij de introductie van Amerikaanse dichters bij het Britse publiek, waarbij hij zijn leven verdeelde tussen Engeland en de Verenigde Staten.
