In her own words, Emily Dickinson – the legendary poet who lived in reclusive existence at her Massachusetts family farm as the Belle of Amherst – invites you into her home in this premiere, one-woman play featuring Denice Hicks, Artistic Director of Nashville Shakespeare Festival.  Though she never saw the publication of her poems and was considered a painfully shy spirit dressed daily in all-white, Dickinson’s words and desires here reveal an alternative portrait of one of America’s ground-breaking writers.
