Poets House

Poets House will develop an interdisciplinary public programing model that leverages partnerships between public libraries and natural history museums, with guidance from poets-in-residence, to support community wide interdisciplinary STEM/humanities learning opportunities. Building on lessons learned during a previously funded planning grant, Poets House will pilot the model in Wisconsin with Milwaukee Public Library and Milwaukee Public Museum and in Utah with Salt Lake City Public Library and Natural History Museum of Utah. Local partnerships in both Milwaukee and Salt Lake City will be rigorously evaluated so that other communities can adopt this model of collaboration.
