A Reading & Booksigning with Barbara Dana, author of a novel for Young Adults
Join us for a reading with author, actor and playwright Barbara Dana, as she explores her new novel for young adults.
Before she was an iconic American poet, Emily Dickinson was a spirited girl eager to find her place in the world. Expected by family and friends to mold to the prescribed role for women in mid-1800s New England, Emily was challenged to define herself on her own terms.
Award-winning author Barbara Dana brilliantly imagines the girlhood of this extraordinary young woman, capturing the cadences of her unique voice and bringing her to radiant life.
