Tagen T Baker

Tagen Towsley Baker is from the rural community of Mackay, Idaho. She studied art at Idaho State University and received her BFA with an emphasis in photography and mixed media. Being raised in a home with a speech pathologist for a mother and an English teacher for a father, language has always been an important part of Tagen’s life.  After working as a writer and photojournalist for many years she is now pursuing an MA in English from Weber State University. 

Tagen enjoys writing poetry and is working on a collection of poems and images that celebrate the landscape of the American West. When she is not writing poetry she can be found working on her 100-year-old farmhouse in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley. When she is not working on her farmhouse she can be found writing about the weekly happenings on her blog or spending time with her husband, two cats, and her Great Pyrenees dog, Scooter.
