| Emily Dickinson And Shamanism: "My Life Stood--- As A Loaded Gun" |
| Soul Goddess Masks: An Unveiling Journey |
|
For over a hundred years untold numbers of young women have been transformed by the work of Emily Dickinson. Commentary on the great erotic love poems such as "Wild Nights--Wild Nights!" and "Struck was I, nor yet by Lightning” privately written by Emily Dickinson will be the central discussion. Recent literary analysis and criticism in an examination of the works of Dickinson has revealed her relationship to Shamanism and homoeroticism. A rich body of source material will be offered for discussion of these themes in the historical context in which her work was created. Dickinson's interest in the fate of the soul after death, her seclusion, her fascination with landscape's mystical content, her quest for immortality through art, and human passions become less enigmatic. We will use Emily’s “Volcanic Fire” in the Full Aries Moon, to each let a poem emerge. No prior writing experience needed.
If you have a brief and favorite Dickinson poem please bring to share. But such material will also be provided as we both honor Emily and our own deep passion in a circle reading.
Saturday Sept. 25th, 2010, 4-6pm at the Russian River Senior Center, 15010 Armstrong Woods Road, in Guerneville. Twenty Dollars suggested donation, sliding scale. Those with no coin are encouraged to attend and bless us with spirit! |
