Dr. Kristen Case, “Making Nothing Happen: Emily Dickinson’s Poetic Magic”

March 2 at 4:00pm

Emery Community Arts Center Performance Space

This event is free and open to the public.

 

This talk will discuss Dickinson’s striking ability to pull readers into her poetry through her use of elision, omission, and negative space. Looking closely, we will find in the blanks, dashes, and silences of her poems the ghostly presence of our own unspeakable experiences.
