We're telling stories about a kind of love that created us, sustained us, maybe drove us crazy. A kind of love that—no matter what—made us who we are.

 

This special episode of Hear-Tell revisits stories about relationships with our mothers—how they cared for us and how we care for them. Stories come from past guests on the show: 2017 MFA graduate Karen Thomas, a professor of practice in journalism at Southern Methodist University; MFA faculty member John T. Edge, director of the Southern Foodways Alliance and host of ESPN's "True South"; and 2019 MFA graduate Dorothy Lennon, a writer and teacher based in Atlanta, Georgia. 

 

REVISED is a semi-regular feature debuting with this episode. REVISED episodes will repackage previously-published stories for special occasions.
