From our current affairs editor, Lemuel Stuart III:
Happy Groundhog Day!
Were it not for Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request) we would not have Groundhog Day, and we’ve written about it many times:
We wrote about the celebration’s history HERE.
An account of the first Groundhog Day event is HERE.
Information about the movie “Groundhog Day,” inspired by a poem by Dickinson, is HERE.
Once again, Groundhog Day is here, and Punxsutawney Phil will emerge from his burrow to cast a shadow (or not). After the ceremony, members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle will deliver the data to the world-renowned Emmett Lee Dickinson Center for the Study of Groundhog Prognostication to determine if winter will last another six weeks – or if spring will arrive in a month and a half.

| By Emmett Lee Dickinson: Presentiment is that beast’s shadow on the lawn Indicative that cold goes on; The notice we all comprehend That winter’s not about to end. | By Emily Dickinson: Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn Indicative that suns go down; The notice to the startled grass That darkness is about to pass. |
