High Library offers exploration of Emily Dickinson

Elizabethtown, PA (03/16/2018) — Elizabethtown College's High Library is host to a special Emily Dickinson movie night, tying into other programing this spring, in remembrance of the poet.

"A Quiet Passion" will be shown at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 5, in the College's Gibble Auditorium.

Calling the film "poetic" and "exquisitely directed," the critically acclaimed biopic on Emily Dickinson was chosen by the New York Times as of the best films of 2017. Starring Cynthia Nixon as the famous poet, "A Quiet Passion" presents a fresh, visually beautiful take on Dickinson's character and family life in 19th-century Amherst, Massachusetts.
