A BEF mini-grant will allow the Brookfield Library to present “Inside Emily Dickinson: Her Poetry and Her Life”. Created and performed by actress Ginger Grace, this inspiring biographical portrait is based on the letters, life stories and poems of Emily Dickinson. In the course of the show, Ms. Grace reaches out to the audience for ideas, words and phrases, and with their input, new poems are created. The program exposes the audience not only to Emily Dickinson, but also to poetry in general and the joys of creativity.
