Welcome to Monsterville, where the residents are anything but ordinary. The monsters here are "friendly! thoughtful! shy and scary," much like their human neighbors. Readers will meet a monster house who plays hopscotch and makes the sidewalks quake, laugh at a bubblegum-headed monster's epic tantrum, and cry with a monster called Sadness. This quirky collection of illustrated poems is a celebration of friendship, emotional intelligence, and creative play as a form of healing.

Bruce Dethlefsen was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1948 and moved to Wisconsin in 1966. He was Wisconsin Poet Laureate (2011-2012).

In Wild Girls, a cascade of vibrant voices shows up, speaks up, stirs up, grieves, heals. The "wild girls" spirit is bold, persistent, sometimes humorous, occasionally tragic, and often heroic. Included are wild girls from family, current events, history, the arts, and even make-believe. Together, they share their stories. The author's passion is observing and honoring the authentic Wild Girl in herself and others. As a writer, she wants her readers-men and women-to feel poignancy in the details, to find a moment of connection in each poem, to nurture empathy in themselves, to bask in the language.
