    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!! ;) )
