Between Laughter And Tears: Black Mona Lisa Poems
by Mona Lisa Saloy

Mona Lisa Saloy is the kind of poet, once you hear her read, you will never forget. On the west coast, reviewer Joyce Jenkins, editor of Poetry Flash, wrote that "Mona Lisa, named after the Nat King Cole song, has got heart, a voice, and some fine, jazzy poems." Mona Lisa Saloy is currently an Assistant Professor of English, teaching writing and literature at Dillard University in New Orleans.
