MEMORIES OF EMILY & EMMETT LEE DICKINSON

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS & OTHER GUESTS


​Portland's "Wall of Moms"

They made sure their kids cleaned their plates before going out to protest, and they stared down Trump's secret gestapo sent to fan the flames of discord and violence -- and now in October they'll be in Washerst, PA (the birthplace of poet Emmett Lee Dickinson, Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request), for the annual 2020 conference of the Dickinson Organization of Poetry Enthusiasts to read some of their favorite anti-Trump poetry!


​Rosie O'Donnell as L. L. Langstroth

Rev. Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth was an American apiarist, clergyman and teacher, and he is considered to be the father of American beekeeping.  At the 2020 DOPE conference, Rosie O'Donnell will begin her North American tour in her one-woman show about Langstroth.  Plus, in a special session on Emily & Emmett Lee Dickinsons' poetry about bees, O'Donnell will give an update on the status of murder hornets.


​Boban Karadordevic

World renowned Memorologist and Anamnesis Specialist Boban Karadordevic will present new insights into the cognitive abilities of Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request), thought to be the most cognitively adept poet ever.  "Dickinson would not only do well on cognitive tests," said Karadordevic, "but he would always score extra points."
​By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
When Memory is lost
And lucid Thought is spent –
Will someone feed my cats foe me
And bear my monthly rent –
​
By Emily Dickinson:
 
When Memory is full
Put on the perfect Lid –
This morning’s finest syllable
Presumptuous Evening said –
