A Daisy for Dickinson/2024 Poetry Walk

  • Emily Dickinson Museum 280 Main Street Amherst, MA, 01002 United States (map)

Be a part of a beloved tradition of adorning Emily Dickinson's grave at Amherst's West Cemetery with fresh daisies on the anniversary of her death. 

Make a supporting gift to the Emily Dickinson Museum in honor of Emily, an Emily admirer, or in memory of someone you've loved and lost. A daisy in their name will be placed on Dickinson's grave as a tribute at the end of Poetry Walk.

In honor of the 138th anniversary of the poet’s death, join the Emily Dickinson Museum for the annual Poetry Walk through downtown Amherst, the town she called “paradise.” This year’s Walk celebrates the re-opening of The Evergreens with stops that explore its significance to Amherst’s cultural landscape and to the poet herself. At each stop we will read Dickinson poems in connection with the site.
