All these words and more could be used to describe Dr. Mona Lisa Saloy, whose literary life includes three books, a dissertation, a tenure as Louisiana Poet Laureate (2021-2023), publications and recognitions too numerous to mention here, and hundreds of students who passed through her classroom at Dillard University.
