Registration for this series is currently full. Please contact luke@bethpl.org if you would like to be placed on a waitlist.

This 4-part workshop will consider a selection of Emily Dickinson's poems. From our discussions, we will be able to deepen our appreciation of her work and better understand why Emily Dickinson is considered by many to be America's preeminent lyric poet. Workshop sessions will not be a series of lectures. Instead we will explore Dickinson’s work through informed discussion among workshop participants.
