Whether it’s a reading, discussion, craft talk, or interview, find these events and more featuring renowned authors, emerging writers, and talented new and local voices.
Hugo House and Seattle Office of Arts & Culture present Janée J. Baugher who’ll read excerpts from her newly completed memoir, “Suicide in the Mirror,” in which she examines her lifelong depression and suicidality from the inside/out. Through confessional storytelling that explores healing the self, destigmatizing mental illness, and the power of writing-through-trauma, Baugher shines light on illness, hope, and the lived-experience.
