We make history in a variety of forms, many of which are designed to bring the people, places, and events to life for the modern reader. To this end, this section contains three sample "poetic engagements" where we've taken a more creative approach to sharing parts of this history.
If you'd like to explore our three sample poetic engagements, you can click on the links below. We would love to hear if these are useful to you and if you have any ideas about other creative approaches we might utilize.
