The Folger invites poet, essayist, and debut novelist Rebecca Lehmann (The Sweating Sickness, Ringer, Between the Crackups) for this annual event celebrating the legacy of one of America’s most beloved poets, Emily Dickinson.
Winner of the AWP Donald Hall Prize for Ringer, Lehmann will read from her own works alongside selected passages from Dickinson’s poetry. At the reading, which is co-sponsored by the Emily Dickinson Museum, Dickinson’s famous black cake (based on her own recipe) will also be served.
