Greetings, EDIS Board and Friends!

I'm delighted to announce that EDIS will once again be partnering with the Emily Dickinson Museum's Tell it Slant Festival, which takes place from September 25-October 1. Every year, EDM hosts a marathon reading of all of Dickinson's poems as part of the festival. This year EDIS will be hosting Part 4 of the Emily Dickinson Poetry Marathon on Thursday, September 28, 12-2pm ET. Come read with us, and share the word! You can pass on a version of this message to friends and colleagues, I'll be hosting this year, and I hope to see you there. If you can't make the EDIS-sponsored session, you are welcome to join any session that has spots. The Museum is using Ralph Franklin's The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition

In order to participate, you must register in advance (it's free!). After you register, you'll receive information about how to sign up for a marathon session. The EDIS session is virtual and will take place via Zoom. I attach a visual image you may like to post or share to help advertise the event. Links below. Sign up soon to ensure a spot! You can read, or you can sign up as a listener too.

All best wishes,
