MICHAELA RIDGWAY is a poet and artist who lives in Brighton, UK. She says of her art, “I work oddly hard to keep the poetry thing and the painting thing apart.

As a poet, on the other hand, I’m disciplined, interested in form, and often concerned with the exit line. As a painter I like to get lost. As a poet I seem mostly to keep an eye firmly trained on the direction of travel. I sometimes wonder what would happen if I introduced my uptight poet self to my rakish painter self.”
