**About the Event**
It’s the holiday season at The Homestead in Amherst, Massachusetts as Emily Dickinson bakes and anticipates guests on her birthday. In this compilation by Yvonne Hudson, the Pittsburgh writer-actor reveals the poet’s sly wit, resilience, and passion for publishing through Emily’s own words and correspondence about the writing life.
Drawn from Emily’s letters and works, and the observations of those who knew the prolific and reclusive poet, this solo presentation features a replica of the writer’s white dress, designed by University of Pittsburgh’s costumer Cindy Albert.
