Epistle to Ignatz
by Monica Youn
| Poetry
Monica Youn lives in Manhattan, where she is an entertainment lawyer. Her first book of poems, Barter, was published by Graywolf Press in 2003. She is currently working on a second book, Ignatz and Other Poems, which is loosely based on George Herriman's Krazy Kat comic strips of the 1920s and 1930s.
