The Dora Maar House



I would like a summer fellowship at the Dora Maar House in Southern France, close to Avignon, in the village of Menerbes. It is "a place for scholars, artists, and writers to use as a retreat where they could work undisturbed on their art, research or writing for periods ranging from one to three months".

Lunatic on Bulbs


What a genius idea--The New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx has recreated Emily Dickinson's garden at Amherst. She practiced night gardening allegedly because of vision problems; sunlight stung her eyes and she called herself Lunatic on Bulbs due to her passion for daffodils, hyacinth and other spring perennials according to the NY Times article by Holland Cotter. Emily Dickinson's Garden: The Poetry of Flowers is a collaboration between the New York Botanical Garden and the Poetry Society of America.
