Description
Summary:Meet Emily the person, not just Emily the poet. Emily Dickinson is one of America's greatest and most original poets of all time. When you hear her name, you may imagine a white dress worn by a slight, quaint, and introverted figure. A famous recluse, whose withdrawal from society became legendary. But it's time to meet a new side of Emily, that re-remembers her as the powerful, adventurous, and joyful girl she truly was. Follow along as we delve into Emily Dickinson s childhood as a young girl desperate to go out exploring to meet the flowers in their own homes. Wade through tall grasses to gather butterfly weed and goldenrod, the air alive with the buccaneers of buzz. And, don t forget to keep a hot potato in your pocket to keep your fingers warm. This is Emily Dickinson as you've never seen her before, embarking on an unforgettable journey in her hometown of Amherst with her trusty four-legged companion, Carlo.
