Mossberg Reads on Dickinson's Birthday
Every year since 1970, wherever in the world she is at the time, Dr. Barbara Mossberg has given a reading of Emily Dickinson's poems on the renowned poet's birthday. This year's reading-on December 10 in the Living Room at the University Center-reflects on how the mission and Vision of CSUMB are expressed through Dickinson's words.
Mossberg, dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at CSUMB, has long been a Dickinson scholar. Mossberg's book on the poet, When a Writer is a Daughter: Emily Dickinson, won the Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Book of 1983.
"It has been one of the most moving experiences of my career to help bring Emily Dickinson's powerful reality to people," said Mossberg. "She wrote a distinctive kind of verse that communicates deeply to people across cultures and life experiences."
