Emily Dickinson International Society at MLAÂ
The Emily Dickinson International Society will sponsor two sessions at the Modern Language
Association annual conference in San Francisco, December 27-30, 2008.
By tradition, one will be an "Open" panel, for which proposals from any area of Dickinson studies
are welcome. This year's second panel will be "Dickinson as World Poet." Papers might present
Dickinson in the context of contemporary transatlantic or hemispheric studies, as an inspiration or
challenge to other world poets, as a global phenomenon, as translated and received in across the
world, as a thinker/poet of the world or for the world.Â
