Julie Baugnet Artists' Books
Bluestem Cottage Press De Pere, Wisconsin
In my books I explore the common territories of poetry and image. Using color, texture, and the written word, I weave landscape and voice. I create small edition books using paint, mixed media, letterpress, handwriting, and screen print techniques.
My latest books are a collaboration with my partner, Carter Clapsadle. As creatives, we work together on ideation, process & planning.

Passage of Birds
Concept: Passage of Birds was inspired by the great bird migrations of North America and in particular, the sandhill cranes. The poem imperatively urges to experience this natural recurring phenomenon. It is with the efforts of Aldo Leopold in Wisconsin and the Audubon Society in Nebraska that these birds, once declining toward extinction, are now thriving and still talking to you.

Resolution, Oh Seven
What do you want to do this year? to see,
to hear, to feel, to be? To rise with
the lizard and voyage in the sun,
to taste the spice of foreign lands
and course divergent waters,
to know the view of a traveling bird,
to people anew the dining table,
to grow green grass?
To make fables come alive,
to swallow a mountain and cut its ice
clean, pure, to know where moths sleep
at night and have the calmness of a stone?
I want to smell the rain in an Irish field and
gain the wealth of a bee.
