Hey Emily Dickinson fans! A trove of donated TV props are helping the just re-opened Dickinsonmuseum feel more lived in like it did in the iconic poet's day. Take a listen to asheaarts story to learn more:
Bringing long-dead, literary figures to life for contemporary audiences is a challenge, but that's the's mission. Now the 19th-century poet's home in Amherst has reopened after a major renovation. It includes a boon of donated props from an irreverent streaming series that reimagines the writer's early adulthood.
“The show generously gave us some of their tools,” Wald said, “that can be our tools here in interpreting Dickinson's life.” They'll do that, she added, by filling gaps in the museum's historic collection to make the poet's home look more lived in. At the time, Smith was struggling to write a dramatic script, but sitting in Dickinson's bedroom was a turning point for the show's tone.
When museum program director Brooke Steinhauser heard that, and learned about the cast that included Khalifa and Jane Krakowski, she was amused. “I was starting to get the sense of like, okay, this show is going to be unlike anything we've seen yet at the museum.” “There is no fixed determinate picture of Emily Dickinson,” Smith said. “She left behind gaps and spaces that people are going to always feel invited to sort of come and dance inside of.”
