From breaking chain links of childhood imprisonment and the haunting pain of loss to the wisdom of discovery, Tammy Nuzzo-Morgan launches line after line of provocative poetry as she expresses the sense of self in the world we live in. The discipline of fusing formal structure with a flow of consciousness demonstrates her breadth of knowledge in a life influenced by poetry. Throughout the pages of Monster Howl, be prepared to hear the hammer of emotion as this unmistakable voice roars . . . “My name is Tammy, the palm tree in Hebrew I shall not be broken by the storm.”
