Events & Calendars Emily Dickinson Poetry Marathon

Don't miss this year's Emily Dickinson Poetry Marathon, an annual reading of all 1,789 poems by Dickinson! No previous experience or qualifying time is required. The 2013 reading will take place over two days: Friday, Sept. 20, from 3 to 8 p.m., and Saturday, Sept. 21, from 7 a.m. until all poems have been read (approximately 5 p.m.).

Whether you’re a longtime Emily Dickinson fan or new to Dickinson's poetry, the marathon is the perfect chance to experience her work in the place where she composed it. Greg Mattingly, a devoted participant of past marathons, says, "Don’t just read Emily Dickinson, join in the Marathon and experience her!"
