The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture awarded fourth-generation Seattleite Janée J. Baugher a 2024-2025 CityArtist grant to complete her illness memoir. For her third full-length poetry collection, The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles, she won Tupelo Press’s Dorset Prize (March 2026). She’s also the author of the only craft book of its kind, The Ekphrastic Writer (McFarland, 2020). Baugher’s writing has been adapted for the stage and set to music at venues such as University of Cincinnati, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Dance Now! Ensemble (Florida), Otterbein University, and University of North Carolina-Pembroke. Baugher has been a featured poet at Bumbershoot, on Seattle Channel TV, and at the Library of Congress.
