New Feet Within My Garden Go: The Poetry of Emily Dickinson

Following the success of the most recent exhibition at the Historic Spanish Point campus, featuring A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson, Selby Gardens will continue the literary theme by presenting a new exhibition featuring the poetry of Emily Dickinson. A selection of Dickinson’s best-known, nature-inspired poems will be sited throughout the Historic Spanish Point campus. Accompanying the poems will be illustrations by artist Abby Wright and photographs of pages from Dickinson’s own herbarium, featuring her personal collection of pressed plants. The poems will also be narrated by Selby Gardens’ Artist in Residence, Patti Smith, who provided the inspiration for this multi-sensory experience.
