A Virtual Reading from MER 18 – HOME Issue

 

 

Mom Egg Review celebrates its HOME issue with a virtual reading by contributing writers and poets.

When the theme for this year’s issue was set as “Home,” no one had an inkling of how timely the theme would be! But “home’ has always had multiple connotations and meanings— Is a home a place, a feeling, a center, a community? A battleground or refuge? Home land. Home base. Unhoused. Also home neighborhood, others’ homes, away from home. The home you grew up in and the one you call your own. The earth as home. Can work be a home? Can a poem be a home?  Mom Egg Review writers explore “Home” through the lens of motherhood.

Welcome to the Reading!
A Message from Marjorie Tesser, MER Editor in Chief, Cindy Veach and Jennifer Martelli, MER Poetry Editors
