About the author

Liz's poems have appeared in such journals as Willow Springs, Beloit Poetry Journal, Nimrod, RHINO, and Sugar House Review. She is the author of the poetry chapbook Something to Help Me Sleep and the illustrated collection The Witch Tells The Story And Makes It True. Her debut novel Monsters: A Love Story is disguised as a romance, but it's really about rape culture and the ways we hold women (like Stacey) to account for everything from what they eat and drink to whether they use profanity, while simultaneously letting powerful men (like Tommy) off the hook for egregious behavior, like how he never actually clocks the word "no."
