Let’s Talk About Emily – The Emily Dickinson Project

The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is pleased to announce a special event, “Let’s Talk About Emily – The Emily Dickinson Project,” on Friday, April 10 at 3:30 PM. Playwright Patricia Mulholland will present insights into her new play, “A Solitude of Space – Emily Dickinson: The Woman, The Poet” and lead a dynamic exploration of Dickinson’s life and work. In celebration of National Poetry Month, Mulholland will introduce her play, which will be staged in Portland this April. Attendees are invited to delve into the genius and enduring mystery of Emily Dickinson, reflecting on the question, “What is the poetic impulse?” Participants are encouraged to bring and read a favorite Emily Dickinson poem, or another poem of their choosing, and to share thoughts on why certain poems resonate with them. Patricia will also discuss the unique process of translating poems into song and invite discussion about the poets that inspire us today. This program will be an engaging gathering for poetry lovers and those curious about Dickinson’s extraordinary legacy. The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is located at 18 Maine Street, Kennebunkport. For further information, please call 207-967-2778 or visit www.graveslibrary.org.
