Contest now closed: Congratulations to Nichol Perez who won the tickets!
What are you doing this Mother’s Day? On Sunday, May 12 at 5pm at Peter Norton Symphony Space on New York’s Upper West Side, the Listen To Your Mother Reading Series will give “Mother’s Day a Microphone” as the city and an inspirational group of women and men come together to celebrate motherhood and parenting in a meaningful new way.
Included in the cast of the New York City show are:
- Former Editor in Chief of Redbook Magazine Stacy Morrison (now Editor in Chief of BlogHer.com),
- Comedian Jaime Fernandez,
- New York City creative writing teacher Susan Buttenwieser,
- Social justice attorney and LGBT activist Nívea Castro and
- Author Tracy Beckerman (whose book Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir came out in early April)
This is only a handful of the talented, inspiring, touching and humorous women who will be on hand to share their stories this Mother’s Day. Each local writer will tell their own tales of motherhood in all of its complexity, diversity, and humor.
If you would like to attend this engaging performance in New York, tickets can be purchased online. Let me know your attending and in what city on Twitter by tweeting with the hashtag #LTYM.

im always with someone also. love your post
I would love to get complimentary tickets to the reading on Sunday. I live in Jersey City, NJ (just across the pond) and my Mommygirl passed away 9/23/12. I am a creative writer and this would be a wonderful way for me to celebrate the joy, love, laughter and angst that Julia Jones brought into my life by giving me life and celebrate with women about their reflections of being Mothers and Daughters.
Please call me if necessary to confirm that my entry was considered or was processed and considered. Thank you in advance for your attention to and consideration of this matter. Whatever way it goes, peace & love to you and yours and have a very blessed Mother’s Day. Peace, Cynthia Jones 201-332-1541
