When I drive around the island with new folks, I get to experience my joy again and I get to participate in theirs.
Monica was one of those enthusiastic tour participants last spring, and it only took one additional visit for her and husband Chris to make Dewees Island part of their future. Monica is a writer whose work has been published in various online journals and print anthologies, including Bright Bones: An Anthology of Contemporary Montana Writing (Open Country Press, 2018) and Burgers and Barrooms: Poems and Stories (Main Street Rag, 2017). You can check out all of this from her site Monicagraff.com. You can follow along with her Dewees Journey, or her experiences living in a yurt in Montana, or her travels elsewhere in the world.
