The Gap Year — Sappho + Emily Dickinson
Hey everyone!
Just checking in with some updates about The Gap Year. Right now, we’re looking at sometime mid-July for us to meet next, either the week of 7/10-7/16 or 7/17-7/23. Given the fact that it’s summer, we know that everyone’s travel plans can make it hard to land on a date, but let me know how either of those weeks sound to you.
Thanks to Lucy’s guidance, we’ll be reading Anne Carson’s translation, If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho. You can pick it up here, though I grabbed my copy from New Dominion Bookshop. Additionally, Lucy and Andy are curating a packet of Emily Dickinson poems to read alongside Sappho. I’ll send that out once it’s ready.
Keep an eye out for any further updates. See y’all soon!
