The Elverhoj Museum of History and Art will host a poetry reading featuring local poets on Oct. 6.
The Poetry of Transition will feature readings from Steve Braff, Dorothy Jardin, and Teresa McNeil MacLean. Each poet has created work inspired by the Elverhoj’s retrospective Past, Present, and Future.
Braff (pictured below) is the co-founder of the Santa Ynez Valley Poetry Workgroup; his work has been published in numerous literary journals. He is also the New Programs Liaison for California Poets in the North County Schools.
Jardin is a teacher, writer, and painter and is currently writing her fourth manuscript of poetry.
MacLean is a poet, artist, and musician who has spent 30 years teaching poetry workshops at local schools.
The event takes place at the museum at 4 p.m. Beer and wine will be served at the event, along with small bites of food. Admission is free to the public. The museum is located at 1624 Elverhoy Way, Solvang. For more info visit elverhoj.org or call (805) 686-1211.
