Wendy Mnookin

My new book, THE MOON MAKES ITS OWN PLEA, will be published by BOA Editions in the fall of 2008. Stay tuned for information on readings.

I have given readings in bookstores, libraries and art centers, in churches and synagogues, in high schools and colleges, and at book groups meeting in private homes. I have also made presentations in which I use my poems to facilitate discussions on drug abuse and on early childhood loss and grieving.
