A new documentary explores the scientific side of poet Emily Dickinson. The one-hour film “Seeing New Englandly” will get its first screening tonight at Amherst (MA) Cinema. The documentary features a number of poems and passages that reflect Dickinson’s fascination with the natural world, including subjects such as the Northern Lights, volcanic eruptions and unusual New England weather. Dickinson received an extensive scientific education while attending Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke College.
