Adam Sweeting, an associate professor of humanities in the College of General Studies, reads an untitled 1877 poem by Emily Dickinson."Although she doesn't use the term 'Indian summer,' Dickinson allowed the season to seem like this jarring interlude that suddenly interrupted the normal flow of temperatures and time," says Sweeting, whose book Beneath the Second Sun: a Cultural History of Indian Summer was published in 2003. Sweeting's research focuses on the interplay between cultural and natural forces in 19th-century America.
