Because Mona
is in the Psychiatric Hospital, a chapbook collection of poems about
an imaginary character with bipolar disorder, is ... "evenly superb.
Every word a nail driven into the frame with one sure hard blow of the
hammer. Each nail five and a half inches apart. The rows of nails go
on and on."
-- Alan Brilliant
"Read it—there
are many things which will resonate with you, whoever you are."
-- Lyn Moir, Happenstance Press (read full review here)
