A Still Volcanic Life is a solo performance piece written and performed by Rhianna Basore, focusing on the life and work of Emily Dickinson. The program is part of Write Out Loud's American Literary Heroes series, funded by a National Endowment for the Arts Celebrating America 250 grant. Dickinson's innovative use of form and syntax made her a pioneer in modernist literature, and the performance is co-produced by Miz. Understood Media.
