September/October 2023
Twenty years ago, a staff of volunteers began a magazine that insisted, against all literary odds, that the stories of mothers mattered. Now, narratives about motherhood are having a moment, in no small part because we have stubbornly inhabited the spaces of literature. I am beyond thrilled to join Literary Mama, not only because the editors are so smart, but because of the bigheartedness of our writers who share complex narratives, which are sometimes hard and sometimes joyful, but always honestly observed. Mostly, I am awed by our readers who show up each issue and expand the stories from these pages into your own homes.
