Join us on Friday, December 15, 2023 at 7:00pm for the second day of the LunArt celebration of Emily Dickinson with a discussion about how Dickinson's life and work inspires generations of writers, musicians, and artists. In this discussion, poets will delve into the profound impact of Emily Dickinson's literary legacy, highlighting particular poems and biographical details to explore why her timeless poetry continues to resonate with readers and artists across generations.
