Dusty Artifact or Window Into the Past: Writing Poems on Petaluma History

If you think you know Petaluma history, then come prepared to be surprised as we write poems from new perspectives. Join Sonoma County Poet Laureate Dave Seter for this special one of a kind workshop. Executive Director Stacey Atchley will provide an insider’s tour of the Museum, inviting us to see into the windows of the past. We will then each select one or more artifacts or stories that may have been forgotten but are waiting to be discovered and shared. We will ask ourselves what we have learned from our past as we write poems or short prose pieces about the artifacts or stories we have chosen. No previous experience writing poetry is necessary. All are welcome. Please notify us if you need special accommodation (handicapped access to the museum, et cetera).
