A celebration of Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson

06 March 2025

Book now

Experience an evening of extraordinary poetry as renowned actors, including the acclaimed Joely Richardson, bring the works of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath to life at The British Library, over one hour.

Emily Dickinson, who spent much of her life in quiet isolation, crafted some of the most innovative and enigmatic verse of the 19th century. Sylvia Plath, celebrated for her vivid and unflinching explorations of the human psyche, revolutionized confessional poetry. Both poets, though worlds apart, share an enduring power to illuminate the complexities of existence.

Join us for this unique opportunity to hear their poetry performed by masterful voices, in the week of International Women’s Day. Further readers to be announced soon!

Book your tickets below. Your contribution will support the ongoing work of The British Library and The Josephine Hart Poetry Foundation.
