Flowers for Emily Dickinson.
I was at an AWA conference in Amherst, Massachusetts in 2015.
I visited the grave of Emily Dickinson. People come from around the world to leave stones and other items to say hello to the poet. I left these flowers on her grave. The flowers came from the fantastic B&B we were staying at. The owner said they were actually planted from seeds from Emily Dickinson’s garden.
So beautiful Clare!! Such a moving connection — AWA, Amherst, Emily… and to think the flowers were from seeds from E.D’s garden! A web of connections. Thanks for sharing this!
I really loved Amherst and being in “Emily Dickinson” country. I hope to return to Amherst and stay at the Stone House Farm Bed and Breakfast again. The memory of this trip is so special because, as you mention, so many AWA connections, including Amherst being the home of AWA founder Pat Schneider. Of course, being on a trip with you and James is always inspiring!
