Enjoy a reading of selected works of beloved American poet Emily Dickinson and learn about her life during a special program on Sunday, Sept. 22, in the historic Hayes Home. Though Dickinson lived a reclusive life and was not known for her work in her lifetime, she wrote nearly 1,800 poems and today is considered one of the greatest poets in the English language. During this program in the large parlor of the Victorian mansion, Hayes Presidential Library & Museums Historian Josh Dubbert will discuss Dickinson’s life and work. Three “Emilies” in historic dress will read from Dickinson’s poems and letters. There will also be a question-and-answer session.

Tickets are required and available here.
