The Essential Emily Dickinson Book Talk: The Brain within its groove runs evenly: Emily Dickinson & Neurodivergence

NEA Big Read programming provides communities with the opportunity to gather, discuss, and create in the spirit of a single book/author, in this case, The Essential Emily Dickinson. No previous experience with poetry or the works of Emily Dickinson is required. The Brain within its groove runs evenly: Emily Dickinson & Neurodivergence In this talk, participants will learn about Dickinson’s potential neurological/psychological conditions, read/discuss 2-3 poems that center on the brain, and interpret them through the broad spectrum of neurodiversity (Dickinson’s and ours).
