America’s Hometown Laureates presents: Emily Dickinson and the Wilde Irish Women

October 27 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Free

Musical performance featuring the poems of Emily Dickinson with music and lyrics by Rosemary Caine!
If the Irish can claim they saved civilization, then the Wilde Irish Women dare to claim that Margaret Maher saved Emily Dickinson’s poems. Experience the lauded musical concert that reveals the unlikely story of a humble Irish maid’s influence on her reclusive mistress, Emily Dickinson.
Margaret Maher defied Emily’s deathbed decree to burn her poems. Her brave, independent thinking and courageous action came from being born in Ireland, a country where poems are respected, not burned. But there is so much more to the story…

Rosie Caine and the Wilde Irish Women explore this fascinating aspect of Emily’s life in “The Celtification of Emily Dickinson.”

Rosemary Caine of Ardee County Louth, Ireland, founded the Wilde Irish Women which is a collaborative group based in Western Massachusetts. The ensemble comprises musicians, actors and singers who have been together since the early 2000’s. Its mission is to illuminate through original music and story the lives of Irish geniuses of literature and legend – saints and sinners included! The focus is on Irish culture, as well as the forgotten women of Irish history and Rosemary Caine always delivers with her signature good humor.
