Riverfront Readings on Zoom featuring Colleen Maynard and Kevin Ridgeway. Colleen Maynard is a visual artist, writer, and arts administrator. As a lifelong cyclist and pedestrian, her writing and artwork are mired in the slowness of observations from a bicycle, and the analogue mark making composed on a drafting table. Maynard writes poems and short fiction about the overlap of daily modern rituals and geological deep time, regularly resulting in themes of ecological and societal absurdities or careful spells. Her writing has appeared in places such as AGNI, matchbook, Sand Journal, and Wayne State Review. She also makes highly detailed, large-scale drawings of marine invertebrates, prehistoric fossils, and overlooked life forms using analogue drafting tools and collage. A few laboratories she has collaborated with include the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, the University of Texas Medical Branch Pathology department, and Emporia State University Geology Museum. Maynard holds double majors from the Kansas City Art Institute. She is a proud founding member and alumna of Throughline, an artist-run space and collective group of artists in Houston, Texas. Maynard is an administrator at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. www.colleenmaynard.com Kevin Ridgeway’s books include Too Young to Know (Stubborn Mule Press), Invasion of the Shadow People (Luchador Press) and Death of the Coppertone Girl (Luchador Press). His work has been published in New York Quarterly, Hiram Poetry
