MinnPost’s David Hawley has more information about Friday’s Dickinson marathon at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, which starts at 8 AM at Frey Library. According to Prof. Erika Scheurer, who organized the event, this Dickinson reading is more populist than most: instead of a stage, there are groupings of comfortable chairs; and spectators are encouraged to pick up the thread as the poems roll along.
In addition to the reading, there will be a continuous viewing of the Julie Harris “Belle of Amherst” film, and a chance to “Create Your Own Dickinson Poem” from cut-up lines (Dickinson meets William S. Burroughs?). And if 8 PM comes around and poem 1,789 hasn’t been read yet, the event decamps to Koch Commons until midnight.
