Schnabel, Martians, Dickinson

Studio 360

Creativity against all odds. A stroke survivor dictates his memoir by blinking his left eye, a story told in the film “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.” We’ll explore an Emily Dickinson poem written from beyond the grave in our American Icons series. And Jack Handey takes on our extraterrestrial enemies, in a story called “What I’d Say to the Martians.”
