The plan
Poet and novelist Rebecca Lehmann reads her own work alongside passages by Emily Dickinson in the Folger’s annual birthday tribute. The approximately one-hour event also includes Dickinson’s black cake, based on her recipe. Children under four are not permitted. A separately ticketed livestream offers another way to take part; do not confuse the in-person and online bookings.
Make the plan yours
The admission note above describes this plan specifically. A free activity can still require a reservation, while café purchases, transport and other nearby stops are separate. Follow the organizer link to choose your own visit rather than relying on a third-party ticket listing.
Make it your kind of day
Give yourself time to look closely and follow what interests you. You do not need specialist knowledge to enjoy a creative outing: start with what you notice, ask questions where the setting allows and compare impressions with someone afterward. The most memorable part may be a detail you did not expect.
