Monica Barron: I am a poet and nonfiction writer and serve as editor of wordpeace: a digital social justice project. I am a part of the Southern Lesbian Community that worked for ReadOut at the Gulfport Florida Library and broke away to do weekly literary programming for Lesbians WriteOn. I also retreat every spring to Georgia with Dykewriters.  I published a book of poems with Golden Antelope Press titled, Prairie Architecture. My work has appeared in Dykewriters Annual anthology, Poecology, Times of Sorrow, Times of Grace, ArtWord Quarterly, Rosebud. and Naugatuck River Review among other publications. The title poem of my next manuscript, “How Your Mother Became the Grass” is coming out in Sinister Wisdom in 2024.
