It’s monster picture day again, and Itty Bitty Betty Blob sits in front of the mirror where she practices growling for the camera. But for Betty it’s not so easy. She’s not a typical monster, so she doesn’t love scaring anyone. What she loves is dancing and rainbows and cute furry creatures. So when mom hands her a perfectly horrible scaly black dress to wear on picture day, Betty isn’t sure. Of course she wants to make mom happy, so she practices her growls in the mirror, and tries to look as monstery as her school friends. She even heads off to school with high hopes, practicing all the way there. . . and that’s when she makes a discovery and soon finds herself among new friends with ideas that just feel right.

She’s the author/illustrator of the middle-grade Mr. Puffball series and the picture book, Everybody Says Meow, and the author of Tiny Spoon vs. Little Fork (Illustrated by the amazing Dan & Jason!) She lives in Asheville, NC with her family.

Stop by M. Judson for this free conversation between two poets, Eric Kocher and Mamie Morgan, as they discuss Kocher’s latest poetry collection, Sky Mall.
Like the magazine from which it takes its name, Eric Kocher’s Sky Mall is committed to “making a catalogue of things, / Strange and wonderful, terrifying and sad.” The poems are equally in awe of each object—a towering western redcedar, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the frothiness of clouds—but also worried about the estrangement and alienation that capitalism constructs between beings and the world. Out of this emerges a meditation on parenthood, on togetherness and love, that is both cosmic and absurd.
Eric Kocher teaches Environmental Studies at Wofford College. Some of his poems have previously appeared in 32 Poems, Boston Review, Gulf Coast, Oversound, and A Public Space, among others. He lives in upstate South Carolina with his wife, Audrey, and their two children, Oscar and Louise.
