Events & Calendars Annual Poetry Walk - Emily Dickinson Museum

This in-person program is free to attend. Registration is required. 

On May 11, in honor of the 138th anniversary of the poet’s death, join the Emily Dickinson Museum for the annual Poetry Walk through downtown Amherst, the town she called “paradise.” This year’s Walk celebrates the reopening of The Evergreens with stops that explore its significance to Amherst’s cultural landscape and to the poet herself. Take the walk at your own pace, but be sure to head to Dickinson’s grave in West Cemetery in time for the noon final poems and a lemonade toast to our favorite poet!
