A. Kendra Greene is an essayist and book artist. She is the author and illustrator of two books, No Less Strange or Wonderful (Tin House, 2025) and The Museum of Whales You Will Never See (Penguin, 2020), translated into German and French, and compared to Borges by Le Monde and to Calvino by Kirkus. Her nonfiction has appeared in publications from Atlas Obscura to Zyzzyva, including Freeman's, The Guardian, and The Wall Street Journal. Her work has been presented at the Smithsonian, exhibited at The Reading Room, collected as far away as Qatar, and vended locally from the White Rock Zine Machine for 25 cents a pop. Her ongoing interest in the relationship of objects and stories took hold while managing the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography, developed further while costuming an ice age giant ground sloth at the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History, and has led to special projects and performances as the Dallas Museum of Art writer in residence and Nasher Sculpture Center guest artist.
