LOADED GUN: LIFE, DEATH, AND DICKINSON

A ‘filmmaker’ who is stumped but captivated by Emily Dickinson’s
poetry searches for ‘flashes of insight’ into the elusive poet beyond those

shrinks, a sensitive, a stand-up comic, a rock band – even a fan with an

dozens of actresses recite poems and improvise Dickinsonian answers to
questions about God, and Death, and Love…
Rising above all the speculation and spectacle are varied readings of over
50 Dickinson poems.
