Join us at Mountain Lakes House to discuss "A Bird Came Down the Walk: Select Bird Poems" by Emily Dickinson. The discussion will include a guided bird walk with expert birder Winnie Hughes Spar.
Presented in partnership with the Friends of Princeton Open Space and the Princeton Environmental Film Festival, this series is dedicated to readings about conservation, stewardship, and our relationship with nature. Led by Diana Newby, FOPOS board member and Associate Director of Writing at Princeton University, each meeting includes a discussion of the book and an accompanying activity. Registration is requested.
About the book
American Poet Emily Dickinson's exquisite poetry spans a broad range of subjects, but perhaps none is so charming as those that she wrote concerning birds. This pocket-sized poetry companion contains 18 beautiful poems alongside Ernest Seton Thompson's delightful colour illustrations dedicated to our feathered friends that will appeal to lovers of poetry and birds alike.
Please note, due to the changed venue and weather there will not be a bird walk this monht. However, the book discussion will be followed by a bird related activity.
