Themes in The Evergreens Nursery

  • CHILDHOOD AT THE EVERGREENS

    Austin and Susan’s children had childhoods with room for play and imagination—a generational shift from the upbringings of their parents and aunts.
  • "UNCLE EMILY"

    Though she never had children of her own, Dickinson fostered close and playful relationships with her nephews and niece.
  • A POIGNANT MEMORIAL

    The Evergreens nursery remained largely untouched after its last resident, eight-year-old Gilbert, whose tragic death had a profound impact on the poet and her loved ones.
