Welcome Poets Community Screening

WHEN:

Fri, Sep 12, 2025 at 7:00 pm

WHERE:

Hoard Historical Museum, Fort Atkinson

Split-screen image with a black-and-white photo of a woman, Lorine Niedecker, in glasses and plaid dress on the left, and a color photo of a man, Nicholas Gulig, in a cap and plaid shirt typing on the right. Across the center is a red textured banner with the words “Welcome Poets” in white text.

Join us at the Hoard Historical Museum for a special screening of Welcome Poets. Produced as six, narrative documentary shorts — the digital-only series follows former Wisconsin Poet Laureate Nicholas Gulig in a reflective homecoming interwoven with the life and work of Fort Atkinson’s own Lorine Niedecker (1903–1970).

After the screening, stay for a brief Q&A and connect with fellow poetry lovers and neighbors. We look forward to seeing you there!

The screening will start promptly at 7 p.m. An earlier screening for those who cannot make 7 p.m. will occur at 5 p.m. Please RSVP for the screening you plan to attend. If you have any trouble registering, please call the Hoard Historical Museum at the number below. Both screenings are free to attend.
