Dramatic Portrayal- I Dwell in Possibility: An Intimate Evening with Emily Dickinson
At NSSC, Northfield Location:
Betsey Means, WomanLore: Performing Women in History
Betsey portrays Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), one of the most
loved and certainly the greatest American woman poet. Dickinson was born in
Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties.
Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for
white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests, and even leave her room
later in life. Most of her friendships were carried out by correspondence.
Emily was a prolific private poet, with her poems questioning the nature of
mortality and death. Through nature and life she was able to glimpse into a mystic
dimension beyond worldly distractions.
