Dawn Jutton is the current Staffordshire Poet Laureate, a role to which she brings over forty years as a creative professional that includes a career as a photographer, lecturer and social engagement practitioner.  Alongside this she has  maintained her own dual practice of fine art and poetry. 

The influence of the rich heritage and varied landscapes of the Midlands shines through in both her writing and images, but Dawn also digs deep into her memories of growing up as a forces’ child, feminism and the challenges of discovering your queer identity later in life as inspiration for her eclectic practice.
