with Stephen Collins
A six-week course
Fridays from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
September 23 through October 28
Join Stephen Collins for six consecutive Fridays for a seminar on the poetry of Emily Dickison, considered one of the giants of American Poetry along with iconic figures such as Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. Long before women had the right to vote, before the term feminist was widely used, there was Emily, quietly and satirically commenting on the vagaries and inconsistencies of American culture.
We will examine some of her most famous poems as well as some of the less famous, less anthologized one. Participants will discuss and analyze the poems.
The fee for the six-week course is $130. Class size is limited to 15 attendees.
Stephen also works as a professionally licensed tour guide doing narrated historical tours of Boston. He now has eight one-man shows and seven courses where his teaching style has been described as a hybrid between lecture and performance.
