Maiden, Mother, Crone: A Reading Celebrating 22 Years of MER - Mom Egg Review
Saturday May 31, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pmEDT
A reading focused on the “ages and stages” of motherhood. Children go through changes, and mothers adapt to these while experiencing their own growth, evolution, and exigencies. The readers, all Massachusetts-based or New England poets who have been published in MER, will share their thoughtful, nuanced, and often surprising poems on the various stages of motherhood and women's lives.
Featured Readers: Kathleen Aguero, Nadia Arioli, Jennifer Barber, Joan Kwon Glass, Carla Panciera. Hosted by Cindy Veach and Marjorie Tesser
