Schedule of Events:

12-2:15pm [Virtual] - Emily Dickinson Poetry Marathon: Part 5

A group reading of all 1,789 poems by Emily Dickinson over the course of 7 sessions. This session takes place entirely virtually and is open to both readers and listeners. We will be reading from Ralph Franklin’s The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition. Sign up as a listener by registering for the Festival, or learn more about signing up as a reader!

7-8:30pm [Hybrid Reading] - Open Mic Night

Bring your poems to Emily Dickinson’s garden! Readers will have 4 minutes each to make us feel “physically as if the top of [our] head[s] were taken off!” (Emily Dickinson to Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 16 August 1870). Las Lorcas will perform after the Open Mic. Open mic sign-ups will be handled in advance via a Google Form, and selected readers will be notified.
