The City in Pieces: Writing the Lost Histories of Providence
Providence Public Library will host four themed workshops in conjunction with The Wonder Show project.  Writers of all levels are invited to attend one or all workshops, which are free.  Through these workshops, local history will be used as creative inspiration to explore 19th century photographs, newspaper clippings, and other historic ephemera to reassemble and imagine a past that might otherwise be lost.
