Janet MacFadyen's third full-length collection, State of Grass, was released February 2024 by Salmon Poetry. Earlier books include the photo-poetry collaboration Adrift in the House of Rocks (New Feral Press, 2019), and Waiting to Be Born (Dos Madres Press, 2017). Both of these draw heavily on a love of landscape, rocks, and journeys, both actual and metaphorical. Honors include a Massachusetts Cultural Council grant, a 7-month Fine Arts Work Center fellowship in Provincetown, and a Cill Rialaig residency in Ireland, along with prizes for the Naugatuck River Review and Common Ground Review annual contests.
She has been nominated for the Best of the Net, Pushcart, and Forward prizes. Recent work appears in The Hopper, The High Window, Scientific American, Wordpeace, and several Writing the Land anthologies, along with recent artwork in CALYX. She is Managing Editor of Slate Roof Press, a poetry chapbook collaborative.
