ilydickinsonmuseum.org> The Emily Dickinson Museum presents "my Verse
is alive," a new exhibit exploring the intriguing posthumous publication
of Dickinson's poetry, from Saturday, September 15 through Saturday,
December 8, 2007 at the Dickinson Homestead.
The exhibit takes its title from Emily Dickinson's 1862 query to author
and activist Thomas Wentworth Higginson: "Are you too deeply occupied to
say if my Verse is alive?" With documents and family artifacts, the
exhibit traces the creation of her literary reputation through the
competing efforts and loyalties of family members and intimates in the
first fifty years after the poet's death. The exhibit, which is part of
Museums10's fall collaborative BookMarks, is open through December 8
during regular Museum hours. Admission to the exhibit is free.
FREE TALK:
To mark the opening of the exhibition, Karen A. Dandurand, associate
professor of English at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, will present
a free talk, Re- envisioning Dickinson's Nineteenth-Century Audience, on
Saturday, September 15, at 11:00 a.m. at the Museum. Dandurand was the
first to identify several Dickinson poems published anonymously in
newspapers during her lifetime.

pg?a=1101811710706> Feel like you don't know where to start with Emily
Dickinson's poetry? Then this FREE Dickinson 101 discussion is for you!
On Sunday, September 23, at 2 p.m., author Joanne Dobson will demystify
Dickinson's work with a step-by-step tour of her poetry.
During the afternoon, participants will read a few key poems in light of
the nature of manuscript poetry, the tradition of social circulation of
private texts, and publishing practices of Emily Dickinson's day. This
program is perfect for those new to Dickinson as well as those with
experience wrestling with her verse.
Dobson is the author of Dickinson and the Strategies of Reticence: The
Woman Writer in Nineteenth- Century America. She was editor and
co-founder of Legacy - A Journal of American Women Writers for ten
years. Until recently, she taught creative writing and literature at
Fordham University. She now writes full- time and is the author of the
Professor Karen Pelletier academic mystery series.
Location: Amherst Woman's Club, 35 Triangle Street, across the street
from the Emily Dickinson Museum. Admission is free and open to all.
