Amherst Arts Night Plus - May 7, 2020
Amherst Arts Night Plus at the Emily Dickinson Museum celebrates contemporary art and poetry in our historic setting. In May we took this monthly event remote with readings by members of the Florence Poets Society! Don't miss this reading by ten western Massachusetts poets, who share their experiences and inspiration in the time of quarantine.
Virtual Poetry Walk
Enjoy the 2020 Virtual Poetry Walk, which aired live on May 15. This beloved annual tradition honored the 134th anniversary of the poet’s death with readings of her poetry at historic sites around Amherst. In homage to Dickinson’s role in inspiring a new generation of writers, each stop features original poems and artwork from the 2019 project "The World Writes Back: Postcards to Emily Dickinson."

The staff of the Emily Dickinson Museum is pleased to present a reading of “I felt my life with both my hands". Thanks to @taraskurtu and #internationalpoetrycircle for inviting us to participate!
Dr. Paraic Finnerty delivered a fantastic talk at the Homestead about Dickinson’s British Contemporaries, with ideas drawn from his forthcoming monograph on the subject. We apologize that the first few minutes of this lecture were not recorded, but there’s a lot to enjoy for those interested in Dickinson, the Brownings, and Tennyson.

Dancer Kelly Silliman made site-specific magic last night in the Homestead conservatory art installation entitled "In Suspension". The artist Tereza Swanda was also present to talk about her collaborative process with Ingrid Pichler and Fletcher Boote. And a special thank you to those who shared their work at our poetry open mic in Emily's parlor! We couldn't love #AmherstArtsNightPlus more. If you missed your chance to see Kelly and Tereza, be sure to put the August 1 Arts Night in your calendar when they make a return visit! "In Suspension" is open for visitors any day the Museum is open.
