Program Description
Details
PBS Books will host a virtual engagement to highlight trailblazing poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1885) in partnership with Poetry In America. Join us to learn behind-the-scene insights by Poetry In America’s Creator and Host Elisa New and bilingual Dominican-American Poet Rhina Espaillat. Having lived more than 150 years ago, trailblazer Emily Dickinson is still considered one of America’s most distinctive and prolific poets, having written nearly 2,000 poems. Learn more about Emily Dickinson, her poems, her ongoing revisions, and the amazing contemporary poets that she has influenced.
This event is part of PBS Books Trailblazing Women Series. To mark the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, PBS launched multiplatform programming focused on “Trailblazers” in order to commemorate the fight for women’s suffrage in the US and the stories of modern women, who continue to shatter the glass ceiling and transform modern history. The Trailblazers PBS theme will be anchored by a documentary entitled “The Vote.“
To complement this project, PBS Books has developed and launched their Trailblazing Women Virtual Series, which will highlight amazing stories of American women through summer-long programming. In June, July, and August, PBS Books is offering programming on Facebook Live in collaboration with libraries across American and local PBS stations.
