Connections through Creativity with Rebekah Jane Art

IN THE EPISODE
Join me today with Author, Poet, Instructor and Speaker Janée J. Baugher.
We had a lot of fun connecting, this episode is rich with information that neither of us planned on. In this episode we talk about a spectrum of things, from creativity, creative limitations, writing, reading, connections through literacy, making art accessible through literacy, Ekphrastic writing, and a bonus, Janée even reads a paragraph from her book and a powerful poem from one of her poetry collections.

Janée J. Baugher is the author of guidebook "The Ekphrastic Writer: Creating Art-Influence Poetry, Fiction and Nonfiction" as well as the poetry collections "The Body’s Physics and Coördinates of Yes". To date, her books are collected in nearly 100 libraries worldwide. Since earning an MFA from Eastern Washington University, her writing has been published in over 120 journals. Her 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 in Florida, University of North Carolina-Pembroke, and Otterbein University, and she’s been a featured reader at the Library of Congress.
