As an art theorist he has presented numerous papers. In an early paper—“Aesthetic Direction in a Packaged Society,”—delivered to the Popular Culture Association in 1978, Monson presented his formula for the prediction of socio/political change. In addition he has written numerous academic works, notably Analytical Critical and Creative Thinking in the Visual Arts; a children’s book—A Tall Timber Tale, and a book for young adults, Passion and the Vulnerable Soul. Tourniquet is his first work of fiction. In Tourniquet, he takes his success at predicting socio/political change and extends it into the realm of pure fantasy. He identifies three startling events that will take place in the years surrounding 2017, in lands far removed from his Missouri ranch where he lives with his wife of 50 years, a riding mule and a chocolate lab. Monson is a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Oklahoma. Following a distinguished teaching career, he retired from the University of Central Missouri in 1997. view less
