Hi all,
This is truly exciting. It's great to see such a terrific group of people
on the list, and a relief to know that the discussion will always be, at
the very least, pleasant and sane. Ahhhh. :)
Like Perry, I'm not a Dickinson scholar (I don't play one on TV, either).
But I am a lover of poetry, and of Dickinson in particular. I've perused
the DEA a few times, but haven't really sunk my teeth in. So I guess that's
a little of what I'll be doing during the long weekend (besides yoga ...).
Onward and upward!
Best,
Amaranta Viera
Note from your list manager: you don't have to be a "scholar" to appreciate
ED or to contribute knowledge. I can't speak for MN, of course, but I think
it's fair to say that we hope the DEA will of interest to academics and
non-academics, that folks who just love ED's poetry will come to the archives
and delve in and enjoy themselves. I think it's important that we make sure
we're accessible to non-academics especially, so that we really are able to
reach a wide audience. The more the merrier! (and maybe the nonacademics will
love the DEA so much that the millionaires among them will dig deep into their
pockets and send money to the Evergreens project!! ;) )
