The French love Jerry Lewis. Germans worship Wilford Brimley. The Irish fancy Hoda Kotb, and Canadians adore Al Roker. In Brazil, they love all things Buddy Hackett. But in Japan, it's all about Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request).
Throughout the month of September 2014, the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (above the coin-op Laundromat on Dickinson Boulevard in historic Washerst, PA) hosted a special exhibit: "East Meets Washerst," all about Japan's fascination with America's greatest poet. To view this exhibit, click HERE.
