Debra Monroe comes from the land of my people: Spooner, Wisconsin. She has also written a book in which she captured my heart in many ways, but perhaps most especially when she described evicting a raccoon from her house by pelting it with poems. Congratulations on the release of On the Outskirts of Normal, Debra.
And if you’re in Austin, Texas, tonight (that’d be a good place to be, y’know), you can help Debra give this book wings.
