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." ...more

And now I return with more dino-erotica

I bet you thought I'd given up. I did not. I did write myself into a corner and then I got terribly busy and every time I would open the file I would think, fuck, fuck, fuck. But last night, as I was explaining to my new poetry students that they would have to write 2 poems a week, I thought, a) 2 poems a week is a lot and I am almost unreasonable to ask it; and b) I guess I should hold myself to

“You didn't think I was gonna have a room made up for you, 'cause I most certainly did not.” "Wow,” I say, pulling my hand out of his. “That's a hell of an assumption to make.” He moves toward the door. “The word 'assumption' implies the possibility that I could be wrong, and you know, you'd think as a poet you'd be more mindful of you vocabulary.” “You'd think as a human being you'd be more mindful of being a dick.”
― Liz Kay, Monsters: A Love Story
