Molly Shannon, Amy Seimetz, Susan Ziegler, and Brett Gelman on Emily Dickinson’s hidden wild side
Film Features Interview
Informed by Emily Dickinson’s private letters, Wild Nights With Emily presents itself as a “bold reappraisal” of the prolific American poet, and a “critique of how women’s history is rewritten.” Ahead of its release, we spoke with the cast—Molly Shannon, Amy Seimetz, Susan Ziegler, and Brett Gelman—and director Madeleine Olnek about the film.

the emily dickinson episode of “dead authors podcast” is great!
I hear she’d sometimes even experiment with trochaic meter!
And need I tell you? It’s hard to find good Trochaic Meter porn on the Internet, but when you do? Some SERIOUS split infinitive shots. Gets me sweaty just thinking about it. Where’s Dan Savage to talk me through it? My wife is only into iambic pentameter, but I want more than that.
