Starring Molly Shannon as the titular poet, Wild Nights with Emily is a humorous yet bold reappraisal of Emily Dickinson, informed by her private letters. Emily is writing prolifically, baking gingerbread, and enjoying a passionate, lifelong romantic relationship with another woman, her friend and sister-in-law Susan. While seeking publication of some of the 1,775 poems written during her lifetime, Emily finds herself facing a troupe of male literary gatekeepers too confused by her genius to take her work seriously. Instead her work attracts the attention of an ambitious woman editor, who also sees Emily as a convenient cover for her own role in a bizarre love triangle.
