Kindred (ePub)

Monica enjoys writing about everyday things, and feels that a poem can be found anywhere. Her family continues to play a most important part in her writing.

Monica is the author of Days of Fine Gray Ash (a collection of poems regarding the many nuances of love, which was endorsed by Poet/Author Nikki Giovanni), available through her web site, Expresso Cafe . Her poems have been published in many national and international journals.
