I just got another blurb for my chapbook. I’m filing this under “shameless self promotion.”

Ann Hudson, the national judge, wrote: “The poems in Monica Wendel’s collection don’t flinch – they examine the gritty world with care and attention. ‘Punch a hole through the house,’ they promise, ‘and we will call it a window.’  Wendel’s voice is challenging and determined, and hard to get out of your head.  As difficult as it is to look at this world, it’s impossible to ignore.”
