Janee Speaks! The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles

Janee Baugher, our member who is a published author, is speaking about her book, The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles at Elliott Bay Book Company and we need to hear her and learn about her new book! Elliott Bay is a Seattle icon and who can resist the interplay of art and poetry? Come early at 6:00pm to Elliott Bay if you would like to meet Janee and have her sign one of your books. We will initially meet in the art book section.
"While the poems in The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles can be enjoyed individually, as a whole this book reads like an autobiography of what Baugher imagined Andrew Wyeth’s creative life to be. She employs the footnote form to write a book-length narrative of art-influenced (ekphrastic) poems in which the Andrew Wyeth character chronicles his internal musings. The sixty-three Wyeth paintings that influenced these poems (dated 1938 through 2008) are the ones in which Baugher delighted in how the quotidian is made tender—a white sheet drying outside on the line or sunflowers’ shadows against a house."
