Emily

Feb 27 - March 8, 2009

By the time Emily Dickinson was thirty years old, the reclusive poet never left her family home and rarely accepted visitors. “Emily” tells the poet’s story from a faith perspective, examining the striking events and relationships in the poet’s life that are possible pieces to the puzzle of her seclusion. Woven through this gentle story, Dickinson’s poetic voice offers a glimpse of her true self, her passionate faith, vigorous intellect, and her wounded heart.
