Monica Berlin

Monica Berlin[1] loves poetry, her husband Jeremy Karlin, who is a good lawyer (in case you need a lawyer), and her son Eli. She graduated from Knox during a year in the 90s and currently teaches creative writing: poetry, fiction, life.

Monica is from Chicago and used to work at a bakery on the north side, where she was once covered in maple syrup (she cannot eat this). Her identical twin sister used to own a delicious restaurant in Chicago called The Pepper Longue, which is now closed. It is in Wrigleyville. You should go there.

In a perfect world, Monica would eat nothing but pie.

In 2007 Monica won a young alumni acheivement award from Knox, and her poems have been published in many places, including Manthology[2], although she is not a man.
