Emily Dickinson was one of the most radical, exuberant, lively, inventive poets of all time; whether you're familiar with her work or not, close readings of her work always yield plenty of surprise.

In this 4 week class we'll watch four episodes of the Apple TV show Dickinson, and then take a deep dive into the featured poem or poems for that episode. Along the way we'll talk about her biography, her mystery, the New England she grew up in, the Civil War she wrote through, and the richness of her writing. 

Note that we'll be focusing on the episodes 5-8 of the Dickinson show -- if you haven't seen episodes 1-4 yet, don't worry. We'll get you caught up. 

All experience levels welcome and encouraged.
