Emily Dickinson: A Woman Ahead of Her Time

Join Stephen Collins for six consecutive Fridays for a seminar on the poetry of Emily Dickison, considered one of the giants of American Poetry along with iconic figures such as Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. Long before women had the right to vote, before the term feminist was widely used, there was Emily, quietly and satirically commenting on the vagaries and inconsistencies of American culture.

We will examine some of her most famous poems as well as some of the less famous, less anthologized one. Participants will discuss and analyze the poems.

The fee for the six-week course is $130. Class size is limited to 15 attendees.
