Emily Dickinson Goes Camping: A Fireside Chat with Karen Davidson

“Follow me to the ends / of The Homestead, Emily said.”

Karen Davidson’s new book, Emily Dickinson Goes Camping and other Wildly Domestic Poems, is a salute to a poet who has long been a presence in her life. 

As a poet and kindred spirit, Karen lifts up the subtle, wry, and serious humour often hidden under the surface of Emily Dickinson’s poems and in her unorthodox social and philosophical stance.

Karen's poems have been published in various periodicals, including Grain, Herizons, and The Fiddlehead.  She is the author of two previous poetry books, Windows and Jewelweed.

Join Karen as she reads from and discusses her latest collection of poems.
