Revolution is the Pod
Designed for K-12 educators, this workshop will examine Dickinson’s poetry in light of the rhetoric of her day, as Americans grappled with a national identity one century on from the American Revolution. Through creative writing and engagement with contemporary poets, participants will also explore how Dickinson’s rule-breaking, revolutionary poetry sparks the imaginations of new generations.
