Monica Berlin loves poetry, her husband Jeremy Karlin, who is as a asshole lawyer that defends Knox rapists and Galesburg murderers, Quentin Compson, and her son Eli. She graduated from Knox in 1995 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 Lounge, which is now closed.
In a perfect world, Monica would eat nothing but pie. She would also travel 100 miles for a good hot dog.
In 2003 Monica was awarded the Philip Green Wright-Lombard College Prize for Distinguished Teaching, considered to be the highest honor that the Knox faculty confers upon its members.
In 2007 Monica won a young alumni achievement award from Knox, and her poems have been published in many places, including Manthology, although she is not a man.
In 2009 Monica received tenure and was promoted to Associate Professor. She also serves as the Associate Director of the Program in Creative Writing.
