It's over.  Done.  Kaput.  Huma Abedin said this week that she is leaving Anthony Weiner after his latest endeavor with sexting.  The marriage is finished.

Weiner, who attended the Emmett Lee Dickinson School for Boys in Brooklyn, NY, said that his interest with sexting stems from his fascination with Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "Portraits are most often faces" (below on the left).  That poem, of course, also inspired Dickinson's third cousin Emily to pen her poem "Portraits are to daily faces" (below on the right).


By Emmett Lee Dickinson:

Portraits are most often faces
As a rule of course
But I'm fine, and more romantic
In my satin shorts


By Emily Dickinson:

Portraits are to daily faces
As an evening west
To a fine, pedantic sunshine
In a satin vest

Below:  The Emmett Lee Dickinson School for Boys in Brooklyn, NY, were Anthony Weiner graduated in 1981.  Teachers recall that Weiner was a highly motivated student, but they had a difficult time convincing him to keep his clothes on.

Below:  What's next for Weiner?  His audition for "Dancing with the Stars" went very well, and he'll like be announced as one of the celebrity guest on an upcoming season.

Health Nuts

By now you’ve probably heard that Donald Trump’s personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, proclaimed that if Trump is elected, he would unequivocally be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”  
Pictured below:  Donald Trump's personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, a proud graduate of Trump U.'s Medical School in Wawayanda, NY.

Pictured at the right:  Dr. Bornstein's assessment of Trump's health and his unequivocal pronouncement.  
Picture
Picture
Dr. Bornsteins remarkable pronouncement called to mind the Poetry Foundation’s recent article on “Who were the healthiest poets to ever live?” They posed this question to poets from around the world, and who topped the list?

Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request), known for his obsession with health and exercise, was declared to be “the healthiest poet to ever live.” Of course, many poets noted that Dickinson also developed many medicines, tonics and elixirs which promote a healthy lifestyle (information is HERE), so it was no surprise that Dickinson was found to be “the healthiest.”



​Who else made the Top Five?


Rita Dove, an avid bodybuilder and competitor in many bodybuilding shows, ranked second.


Pictured at the right: Rita Dove, one of the "Final Four" in the Toronto Pro Super Show Women's Bodybuilding in 2013.

​Walt Whitman (pictured below left) came in third, Sylvia Plath (pictured below center) was fourth, and Emily Dickinson (pictured below right with her sister Lavinia) was fifth.

Below:  Trump's physician Harold Bornstein, himself a health nut, ran a "Punkin' Patch" in Wawayanda, NY, for thirteen years.  He had to close it down in 2008, though, due to the effects of the devastating Bush-Cheney recession.  "People just weren't willing to shell out $3.50 for quality entertainment," lamented Dr. Bornstein.

Florence Foster Jenkins:  A Tribute to Emmett Lee Dickinson

8/21/2016

0 Comments

 
My wife and I saw the movie “Florence Foster Jenkins” yesterday.  It’s a very pleasant movie with yet another wonderful performance by Meryl Streep.  It is incredible how versatile she is.  Did you see her as BB-8 in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”?  She was flawless!  She was equally as impressive and wonderful as Florence Foster Jenkins -- known in her time as Emmett Lee Dickinson's greatest fan!
 
We were also pleasantly surprised to see so many nods to America’s greatest poet, Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request) throughout the film.

First, Florence Foster Jenkins was herself a great fan of Emmett Lee Dickinson and the Dickinson family.  She often hosted events where she would recite Dickinson’s poetry, and she also revived the Tableau Vivant, a performance art form championed by Dickinson’s Uncle Merton.


Pictured at the right:  The poster for "Florence Foster Jenkins."  Note that it says, "The inspiring story of Emmett Lee Dickinson's greatest fan."
Picture

Pictured at the left:  Emmett Lee Dickinson's Uncle Merton Dickinson who originated the performance art form known as Tableu Vivant (in the photo, Uncle Merton is shown in dramatic portrayal of Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem, "I heard a fly buzz when he died."

Pictured below from left to right:  Florence Foster Jenkins in Tableau Vivants of "Success is Counted Sweetest," "'Hope' Is the Thing with Feathers," and "Because I Could Not Stop For Death."

Picture

Picture
Second, the film’s star, Meryl  Streep, is a graduate of the Emmett Lee Dickinson School for Boys and Military Academy in Bernardsville, New Jersey.  In 1967, she had matriculated from the internationally acclaimed Institute for the Study of Body Language, Mummery, and Mimery  in Washerst, PA, but she couldn’t find gainful employment of any kind.  With an uncertain future in front of her, Streep enrolled in the Emmett Lee Dickinson School for Boys and Military Academy and, at that time, hoped for a career in the military.  However, Director Steven Spielberg saw her in the title role in the school’s spring production of “Mister Roberts,” and he cast her in an uncredited role in “Jaws” as the “mangled girl on the beach” for which she won rave reviews.

Below:  Meryl Streep -- as Merl Streep --  in her yearbook picture from the Emmett Lee Dickinson School for Boys and Military Academy. 

Picture
Picture
Third, “Florence Foster Jenkins” was produced by Qwerty Films, a film production company named for Emmett Lee Dickinson’s daughter Qwerty Jean Dickinson.  Michael Kuhn, who founded the company, had joined Polygram in 1975, and in 1991 he set up the subsidiary Polygram Filmed Entertainment (PFE). In 1999, when Polygram merged with Universal Music Group, he went independent and formed the production company Qwerty Films. 
 
Kuhn said that he named the company after Qwerty Jean Dickinson because he is a great fan of Harper Lee’s novel QWERTY, Qwerty Jean Dickinson: A Life, the definitive biography of Emmett Lee Dickinson's daughter.  Lee later fictionalized the work in her acclaimed novel To Kill A Mockingbird.  In that novel, she based Atticus Finch on Emmett Lee Dickinson (as a lawyer instead of a poet), and she patterned Scout on Qwerty Jean.  The character of Dill was based on Emily Dickinson, although many readers have mistakenly identified that character with Truman Capote.

Picture

Finally, there are various nods to Dickinson throughout the film.  For example, listen to the dialogue toward the end of the movie about a cousin – “twice removed.”  Or look for the portrait of Emmett Lee Dickinson in Florence Foster Jenkin’s New York apartment. 

Picture
To be honest, “Florence Foster Jenkins” is nothing more than a metaphor about Emmett Lee Dickinson’s life and legacy.  The tone deaf socialite represents Dickinson who is perpetually compared to his third cousin – and the time has come that Emmett Lee should be recognized as more than the “Florence Foster Jenkins” to Emily’s “Lily Pons.” 
 
At the end of the film, Foster Jenkins notes, “People may say I can't sing, but no one can ever say I didn't sing”  -- a quote she borrowed from her favorite poet, Emmett Lee Dickinson, who said, “People may say I can’t write poetry, but no one can ever say I didn’t write poetry.”

We are currently documenting a special online report on the “Top 100 Events from the World of Poetry” as reported by The New Yorker.  
If you have not had a chance to see our account, click HERE.  At the present time we are counting down the “top ten” events from the list, and then later we’re going to fill in a few more.
For example, in this post we’re detailing number 41 on the list:  the resurgence of poetry in England in the late 1800s thanks to librettist W. S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan.
 
Here’s what happened:

​The Jacobite uprising in 1745 resulted in massive paper shortages throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland.  This, in turn, led to wide-spread scarcities of ink & pens.  As a result, the UK suffered massive layoffs in the poetry industries, and soon there were gangs of unemployed poets, versifiers, and poetry workers roaming the streets of London, Liverpool, & other major cities.


Picture
The most terrifying conflicts were between the “Bics,” short for the Iambic gang of the upper west side, and the “Trochs” (rhymes with “chokes”), short for the Trochees from the east.  The Bics and the Trochs battled for turf for decades, and the public all but gave up on reading poetry.   Poetry lost its appeal. Poets and lyricists were thought to be nothing more than street thugs.
 
Then, in 1879, just after the premiere of Gilbert & Sullivan’s mega-hit “The Pirates of Penzance,” the public got word of some lyrics near the end of the shows first act.
 
As Act I is about to conclude, the Pirate King asks, “Although we live by strife / We're always sorry to begin it, / For what, we ask, is life / Without a touch of Poetry in it?”
 
The entire cast on stage then drops on their knees and sings in beautiful harmony,
 
          Hail, Poetry, thou heav'n-born maid!
          Thou gildest e'en the pirate's trade.
          Hail, flowing fount of sentiment!
          All hail, all hail, divine emollient!
 
From that day forward, order and decorum, rhythm and rhyme were restored in the UK. Poetry was once again recognized as an acceptable art form with the general public.

We hear from our fans quite often, so we thought we'd share some of of our favorite comments we've received:
​

Picture
From "Bruce" (if that is his real name), we heard that he recently shared our commentary on the New Yorker's recent feature on "The 100 Most Important Events From The World Of Poetry" (HERE).

As stated in our response shown to the left, our research on the life and poetry on Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request) is as vital as it is nugatory!

By the way, we assume that "wag" is an acronym for "writer and gentleman."  No?



Picture
We also heard from a "Bruce" (if that is his real name -- and maybe he's the same person as the "Bruce" above?) that he was "lazy about digging in" to our work on Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request).  We can only hope that others do not procrastinate when it comes to exploring the life and work of America's greatest poet as our research on Dickinson is as vital as it is nugatory!

By the way, for those of you new to Dickinson, "Coffee, of course" refers to Dickinson's love of coffee (HERE), of course.


Picture
From an unnamed source (perhaps named "Bruce"?) we heard high praise!  

If you know of anyone who is hesitating from "digging in" to our work on Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request), perhaps you can persuade them to get started with a similar commendation.

Oh, and be sure to explain that this research is as vital as it is nugatory.  

By the way, we loved the multiple exclamation points. It shows a deep commitment to Dickinson and our site.

Picture
Alas, we were disheartened to hear from "Kathryn" (if that is her real name). 

We assure you, dear Kathryn, that everything on our site is thoroughly researched and 100% true.  As a matter of fact, we have received countless awards for our authenticity and veracity, including the American Library Association's Seal of Correctitude and Bona Fide Authenticity, the Distinguished "VIP" Webby Award for Verity, Integrity, and Probity, and the Blue Ribbon of Excellence from the President's Commission for Internet Veracity and Online Quality.  Don't believe us?  Look HERE.

We can only imagine that "Kathryn" is a heartless soul in desperate need of a colonoscopy, very severe dental work, a tax audit, and front row seats to her local Community Theatre's production of Cats on consecutive nights.


Picture
We certainly heard high praise from "Terry" (if that is his or her real name) -- and we can only imagine that "Terry" is as insightful as he/she is good looking.

We're not quite sure what "Terry" meant when he or she referred to our research as "this elaborate tale."  We can only assure him/her that our investigation and inquiry into the life and work of America's greatest poet is on-going.

​By the way, by "creative writing skills," we assume that "Terry" meant "research skills."


Picture
"Jeremy" (if that is his real name) asked, "Is the no biography about Emmett Lee Dickinson?"  

Yes, "Jeremy," as a matter of fact, there is.  Click HERE -- and may we also say that Great American Poems ~ REPOEMED, the definitive work on Dickinson, makes the perfect gift for friends, family, teachers, poetry lovers, and any and all acquaintances.

By the way, when I received my most recent royalties check for the sales of Great American Poems ~ REPOEMED, not only was I able to take my wife out to dinner, but we were able to afford the Nachos Supreme.


Picture
"Susan" (if that is her real name) speculated that we have "WAAAAAAAAY too much time" on our hands!"

When it comes to America's greatest poet, Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request) is there really such a thing as "too much time"?

On the contrary, we need more time -- much more time -- to spread the word on Emmett Lee Dickinson so that he will finally be recognized as more than the "Salieri" to Emily Dickinson's "Mozart."

Enjoy our site?  Enlightened by our research? Enriched by our Featured Poems of the Week (HERE)?  Drop us a line and let us know what you think.  Maybe we'll feature your comment in a future plog post (poetry blog) about the accolades and unfounded complaints we receive!

Correct-Handed

Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request) was left handed, although he referred to his “handedness” as “correct- handed.”  As a matter of fact, when he established August 13th as International Left-Handers Day, he called it International Correct-Handers Day.  It was changed back to Left-Handers Day in 1932 when the American Left-Handers League (AFL) merged with the Corrected-Handed Institute of Orthographers (CIO).
 
Dickinson conceived his idea for International Left-Handers Day when he wrote his poem “I took my Power in my Hand” (below on the left).  That poem also inspired his third cousin Emily to pen her poem with the same first line (below on the right).
By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
I took my Power in my Hand –
And went against the Rest –
‘Twas twice as hard as Others – had –
For I – preferred my left –
 
I aimed my Pencil – by Myself
Was told that I would fail –
I said “I’ll try-eth” – one more time –
And saw myself – prevail!
By Emily Dickinson:
 
I took my Power in my Hand –
And went against the World –
'Twas not so much as David – had –
But I – was twice as bold –

I aimed by Pebble – but Myself
Was all the one that fell –
Was it Goliath – was too large –
Or was myself – too small?


And just FYI, below are 50 things that are right-handed (and most right-handers take for granted):

1. Playing cards
2. Rulers
3. Scissors
4. Novelty Coffee Mugs
5. Books & Magazines

16. 3-Ring Binders
17.Tableware/Glasses (always set for right-handers)
18. Automobiles
19. Measuring Cups
20. Anchored Pens (like those at banks)
21. Drill Presses
22. Lawn Mowers
23. Ice Cream Scoopers
24. Video Game Controllers
25. Tape Measures
26. Credit Card Swipe Machines

38. Placement of Receipts (when asked to sign)
39. Personal Checks (when lefties flip them over to endorse, the endorsement area is upside-down)
40. Writing with Chalk on Chalkboards
41. Writing with Dry Erase Markers on White Boards
42. Boomerangs
43. Bike Gears
44. Kitty Litter Bags (and any bag with a pull-string to open)
45. Golf Clubs (unless -- like many items on this list -- ordered special)

The Art Has Its Reasons -- Part 2

Yesterday we wrote about current and future art exhibits we are co-sponsoring with other museums around the country.  For information for shows on Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and artwork related to German philosopher and poet Emil E. Dichundsohn, click HERE.
 
There are other major exhibitions in the works, including the following:
1. We are currently in talks with the Whitney Museum of American Art to co-sponsor a major retrospective on Edward Hopper, and artist who was greatly influenced by the work of Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request).  The show, called “Edward Hopper’s Emmett Lee Dickinson:  The Definitive Nighthawk,” will open in the spring of 2017.
 
Information about a past exhibit on Hopper is HERE.
Picture
Pictured above on the right:  The poster for the Whitney-ELD exhibit on Hopper includes a section of Hopper's masterpiece "Nighthawks" -- the figure of Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request) sitting in a diner.  (Click the image to enlarge.)
​

Picture
2. Also in the spring of 2017, the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (above the coin-op laundromat on Dickinson Boulevard in historic Washerst, PA) will join with the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, VA, to co-sponsor “Lampapolooza,” a landmark exhibit devoted to Louis Comfort Tiffany’s bond with Emmett Lee Dickinson.
 
For a short time in his life, Emmett Lee Dickinson worked as a child psychologist, and he realized that that young Louis Tiffany suffered from PTPZS, Post-Traumatic Petting Zoo Syndrome, stemming from a distressing and horrific encounter with a small goat outside a corn crib at a petting zoo.  Dickinson treated Tiffany for years, and  thanks to his untiring and persistent efforts, Tiffany was finally able to overcome his unfounded fears of flora and fauna – and he went on later in life to produce beautiful stained glass lampshades which depicted the very terrors of his youth.

Pictured at the left: A promotional poster for Lampapolooza.

3. Finally, we are also in talks with Tate Modern in London, England, to co-sponsor another exhibit on Georgia O’Keeffe called “Clouds In My Coffee.”  This exhibit will include many of O’Keeffe’s paintings based on the poems of Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request).  Some of the Dickinson-related paintings of O’Keeffe’s are HERE.

Picture
Pictured above:  The promotional poster for the Tate Modern show includes Georgia O'Keeffe's painting, "Clouds In My Coffee."  O'Keeffe was inspired to paint this work by Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "A stirring thing – it was – I bid" which includes the line "Clouds – from Horizons – in my coffee."

In her autobiography Boys in the Trees, singer Carly Simon reported that O'Keeffe's painting and Emmett Lee Dickisnon's poem as among her favorite artworks.  She also confessed that the subject of her song "You're So Vain" -- in which she uses the line "clouds in my coffee" -- was none other NBC Today Show weatherman Al Roker.


As soon as details become available on any other upcoming shows, we will let you know!  Stay tuned to the ELDM website for the latest breaking news related to Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request).

The Art Has Its Reasons -- Part 1

8/9/2016

Recently we wrote about the “Andy Warhol Icons” exhibit that we are co-sponsoring with the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA.  That information is HERE, and the exhibit runs through September 18, 2016.
 
We would also like to update you on upcoming exhibits that we will be co-sponsoring with the Fralin and other major museums in the fall and beyond.

First, the Fralin is gearing up for an exhibit on Emil E. Dichundsohn, the ninth son of Eduard Dichundsohn and Emelie Nordqueren Dichunsohn.  Emil E. Dichundsohn is known as the greatest German poet and the father of all German philosophy, and his father was a distant relative of Edward Dickinson, the father of Emily Dickinson. 
 
In May 2015, Dichundsohn was the subject of a landmark exhibit at the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (above the coin-op laundromat on Dickinson Boulevard in Washerst, PA). To view that exhibit, click HERE.


The name of the coming exhibit, “I Am Nobody:  Artwork of Emil E. Dichundson,” stems from Dichundsohn’s classic poem “I am Nobody” (below on the left).  His poem inspired Emily Dickinson to pen her poem “I’m nobody. Who are you?” (below on the right).

By Emil E. Dichundsohn
 
I am nobody
For society does not consist of individuals
     but expresses the sum of interrelations,
The relations within which these
     individuals stand.
Who are you?  

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
From each according to his abilities,
To each according to his needs.

By Emily Dickinson:
 
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us—don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

​
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

​

Pictured at the left:
 Armando Marino's painting "No Soy Nadie," a tribute to Emil E. Dichundsohn (click the image to enlarge). 

Marino's work, currently on display at the Fralin Museum of Art, includes a depiction of the celebrated painting of Emil E. Dichundsohn.  This iconic painting 
by Caspar David Friedrich hangs in the Emil E. Dichundsohn Museum in Binhurst, Gerhmany.  In Marino's work, an indiginous figure stands atop Friedrich's painting's frame  in opposition to the likeness of Dichundsohn.

In Friedrich's painting, Dichundsohn projects a snse of romantic adventure and recalls the Euopean lust for exploration into unclaimed lands that began in the fifteenth century.  The presence of the indigenous figure atop the painting's frame challenges this idea known in Latin as terra nullius (no one's land) and reminds the viewer that Europeans justified colonization by treatng the land as if uninhabited by "nobodies," signifying Dichundsohn's poem's title, "I am nobody."
​

Next, the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (above the coin-op Laundromat on Dickinson Boulevard in Washerst, PA) will join forces with the Whitney Museum of American Art to present a momentous exhibit called “Wham! Bam! Thank You Emmett Lee Dickinson!," an in-depth look at Roy Lichtenstein’s fascination with America’s greatest poet, Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request). 
 
In March 2013 the ELD Museum hosted an exhibit on Roy Lichtenstein’s interest in all-things Emmett Lee Dickinson.  For information on that exhibit, “I’m Dickinson, He’s Lichtenstein,” click HERE.
 
Details for “Wham! Bam! Thank You Emmett Lee Dickinson!” will be announced soon!

There are many other retrospectives being planned with other major museums which will feature the works of artists who were inspired by Emmett Lee Dickinson, including Edward Hopper, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Georgia O'Keeffe.  Stay tuned!

I Think Icon, I Think Icon, I Think Icon

If you are a fan of Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request) and/or you are a devotee of our online site, then we suspect that you know that the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (above the coin-op laundromat on Dickinson Boulevard) burned to the ground as a destructive inferno raged through historic Washerst, PA (the birthplace of Emmett Lee Dickinson) on New Year’s Eve. Information about the fire and devastating loss is HERE.

As we work with the Board of Directors of DOPE (the Dickinson Organization of Poetry Enthusiasts) to plan and work through our rebuilding efforts, we are also working with museums around the country to continue offering special exhibits dedicated to America’s greatest poet, Emmett Lee Dickinson, and to those artists who were influenced by his life and poetry.

Currently, the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia (where Dickinson was once a student) and the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (above the coin-op Laundromat on Dickinson Boulevard) are co-sponsoring an exhibit dedicated to Andy Warhol, America’s leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art and a fan – if not a fanatic – of Emmett Lee Dickinson.

In October 2015 the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (above the coin-op Laundromat on Dickinson Boulevard) sponsored a special exhibit called “Soup Two Nuts" (HERE), and the exhibition centered on Warhol’s fascination with Dickinson. Now we have joined with the Fralin Museum of Art to co-sponsor “Andy Warhol Icons,” a display of Warhol prints from Annie Oakley and Queen Elizabeth to Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minnelli.

“This exhibition pays tribute to the concept of the icon,” said Pepper Potts, the Global Communications and Functionality Strategist for the Fralin.  “Warhol plays on notions of celebrity through the use of the singular iconic image – and what image is more iconic than the classic pose of Emmett Lee Dickinson?”

Potts added that the idea for the exhibit stemmed from a famous quote by Warhol:  In Souped Up!, Ken Eddick’s definitive biography on Andy Warhol, Eddick reported that Warhol once said, “When I think of Emmett Lee Dickinson, I think icon, I think icon, I think icon.”  As a result, the idea for “Andy Warhol Icons” was born.  The exhibit at the Fralin runs through September 18, 2016.
