The Belle Of Amherst

Directed by Lynn Pryer

Miss Emily Dickinson became the local eccentric of her small Massachusetts town - not its belle, as she'd hoped.  Wearing "bridal white" and rarely leaving her father's house for 56 years, she spent her hours secretly recording her private thoughts in over 1,700 epigrammatic poems.  They were discovered only after her death and have since become some of the most enduring and endearing verses in American literature. 

 

Through scintillating weavings of poetry, letters, dramatic flashbacks and narrative, we are transported to the people and events that shaped Emily Dickinson's secluded life.
