**Project Overview**This project explores what I call the 'Dickinsonian school' of women poets, including myself, who have been profoundly influenced by Emily Dickinson's poetry. I aim to creatively draw from Dickinson's work and examine how her influence transcends borders and impacts women's poetry. While acknowledging Dickinson's significant role in contemporary poetry, there's a pressing need to dissect the exact nature of her influence, especially through the lens of gender. My project is a journey to uncover Dickinsonian traits in poetry, analyze these traits in the works of H.D., Adrienne Rich, and Susan Howe, and explore how Dickinson's influence manifests in my own poetry. Ultimately, this endeavor sheds new light on gendered literary inheritance and the role of influence in contemporary creative practice.**Research Questions**- What defines a poem as 'Dickinsonian'?- How does Dickinson's influence vary across different poets?- How do we distinguish genuine influence from mere imitation?- Are there gender-specific dimensions to poetic influence, and how can we identify them?- How does a focus on poetic foremothers contribute to the development of a womanist poetics, rooted in authentic female experiences?**Context**My project challenges the conventional patriarchal view of literary influence, instead embracing a gynocritical perspective that emphasizes constructing a female framework for analyzing women's literature. I draw inspiration from the pioneering work of Sandra Gilbert, Susan Gubar, Elaine Showalter, and other feminist scholars.**Creative Component**I will create a collection of poems inspired by Dickinson's work and the three modernist poets under study. My aim is to craft a womanist poetics, one that authentically reflects women's experiences. I seek to highlight the inherent poetry in everyday activities of Egyptian women often dismissed as mundane or frivolous, such as household chores, leisure pursuits, and the unique female bodily experiences. This creative endeavor will be deeply rooted in qualitative research, including interviews and archival exploration in Egypt. **Critical Component**My project will involve close readings to identify Dickinsonian patterns, themes, and style in the poetry of H.D., Adrienne Rich, and Susan Howe. I will complement this analysis by delving into their drafts, diaries, and unpublished works to trace the evolution of their writing styles. My focus will be on specific works from each poet, allowing me to dissect how Dickinson's influence manifested in their creative journeys.**Outputs and Timeline**The creative and critical aspects of my project will unfold in tandem. I intend to produce both a publishable book of poetry and critical essays that can find their place in scholarly publications. Over three years, I will dedicate time to research, writing, and retreats, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of this subject. The final semester will be dedicated to refining my poetry, organizing it into chapters, and ensuring the logical sequence of the book.This project is not only a personal exploration but also a significant contribution to our understanding of Emily Dickinson's enduring influence on women poets and the development of a womanist poetics.

**项目概述**这个项目探索了我所说的‘狄金森学派’的女诗人，包括我自己，她们深受艾米莉·狄金森诗歌的影响。我的目标是创造性地借鉴狄金森的作品，考察她的影响是如何超越国界，影响女性诗歌的。虽然承认狄金森在当代诗歌中的重要作用，但迫切需要剖析她影响的确切性质，特别是从性别的角度。我的项目是一次揭示诗歌中狄金森特征的旅程，分析H.D.、阿德里安·里奇和苏珊·豪的作品中的这些特征，并探索狄金森的影响如何在我自己的诗歌中体现出来。最终，这一努力为性别文学传承和影响在当代创作实践中的作用提供了新的线索。**研究问题**--什么是一首诗是‘狄金森主义的’？-狄金森的影响在不同诗人之间有何不同？-我们如何区分真正的影响和纯粹的模仿？-诗歌影响是否存在性别特定的维度，我们如何识别它们？--对诗歌先辈的关注如何有助于植根于真实女性经历的女性主义诗学的发展？**背景**我的项目挑战了传统的文学影响的父权制观点，取而代之的是一种女性主义的视角，强调构建一个女性框架来分析女性文学。我从桑德拉·吉尔伯特、苏珊·古巴尔、伊莱恩·肖瓦尔特和其他女权主义学者的开创性工作中获得灵感。**创造性成分**我将创作一本诗集，灵感来自狄金森的作品和正在研究的三位现代主义诗人。我的目标是打造一种女性主义诗学，一种真实地反映女性经历的诗学。我试图强调埃及女性日常活动中固有的诗意，这些活动通常被认为是平凡或琐碎的，例如家务、休闲追求，以及独特的女性身体体验。这种创造性的努力将深深植根于定性研究，包括在埃及的采访和档案探索。**关键部分**我的项目将包括仔细阅读，以识别H.D.、Adrienne Rich和Susan Howe诗歌中的狄金森模式、主题和风格。我将通过深入研究他们的草稿、日记和未发表的作品来补充这一分析，以追踪他们写作风格的演变。我的重点将放在每一位诗人的具体作品上，让我剖析狄金森的影响是如何在他们的创作过程中体现出来的。**产出和时间线**我的项目的创造性和批判性方面将同步展开。我打算出版一本可以在学术出版物中占有一席之地的诗集和评论文章。在三年多的时间里，我将致力于研究、写作和静修，确保对这一主题的全面探索。最后一学期将致力于提炼我的诗歌，将其组织成章节，并确保这本书的逻辑顺序。这个项目不仅是一次个人探索，而且对我们理解艾米莉·狄金森对女性诗人的持久影响和女性主义诗学的发展做出了重大贡献。
