Join us for our 2025/26 season of our Poets in Print Reading Series! There will be four readings, three in person in the KBAC gallery and one online through zoom.
Our October reading will be held in person and feature Elaine M. Seaman and Robin Gadient. A limited edition letterpress printed broadside by Carolyn Ingram will be produced Elaine's reading.
The KBAC is excited to present a new chapbook, Two for Joy, by Robin Gadient. This small letterpress book, set, printed, and bound by hand, also contains two monotype prints by Caroline Allen. Each copy of the book is unique, with different hand-painted images, printed in an edition of seventy-five.
Elaine M. (Koren) Seaman grew up near the cornfields of Iowa but has lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan, for over forty years. Her sons draw her to Colorado and New Zealand each year and wanderlust takes her to other parts of the planet. Finishing Line Press published her first book of poetry, Rocks in the Wheatfield, in 2004. Her self-published book (2019), My Mother Sewed Dresses for Five, contains quilts she made and poems she wrote that share titles. The American Quilter’s Museum in Paducah, Kentucky, has one of her quilts in their collection, as do many private collectors.
Robin Gadient learned to read at 3 when her mother showed her index cards with words and colors. She’s been in love with words and colors ever since. Sometimes she makes them into poems. Sometimes poems arrive on wings or tiny feet. Sometimes she wakes up with them hand delivered in a dream. She’s working on her second book of poetry and teaching writing to women on the internet.
