A Poetic Forest Healing Walk with Emily Dickinson

"We are the only poets,” Emily told Susan, “and everyone else is prose.”

Dillipoetry invites you to a two-hour-long poetic healing nature walk in Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai. The walk will bring into play the most soul-nourishing poetry of Emily Dickinson as prompts and meditative tools to reflect on our relationship with nature.

Emily who commanded a strange brilliance of style singlehandedly reshaped American literature. Her poetry is a scented letter to the world (who she complains ‘never writes to her’) - constantly unfurling - while the world still catching up with its mysteries and grandeur of literary experimentations & creative possibility.

Join us on a walk with poetry & promises offered right from Emily’s desk.
