S1E4 "Heaven forbid a woman be wild" w/Ada Limón
Manage episode 342958443 series 3008697
Emily's father scoffs at her objection to cutting down an old tree to make way for the railroad, sending her (and suitor George) on a pilgrimage to to see Henry David Thoreau, a visit that ends in disappointment. Should we be disappointed in the portrayal of Thoreau? Why does Emily's sister Lavinia play at being an Indian? Who are the real indigenous people in the background of this episode? And how do solitude and the wild figure in a poet's life?
Breezy, Jericho, and Aífe, joined by special guest US Poet Laureate Ada Limón, talk back to Season 1, Episode 4 of Dickinson: "Alone, I Cannot Be."
