will take place next Saturday. It was tough reading through all the submissions and I cried much through some of them. I haven’t even seen people reading in person yet but one thing I know is that everyone very much had something to say.
Some of us had great mothers. Some of us had to mother our mothers. Some of us had to be our own. If ever you want a good cry, read a bunch of Listen to Your Mother submissions.
