Bauer Publishes Essay in Deep South

Dr. Margaret Bauer’s creative nonfiction essay “My Mother’s Day, 1989,” was recently published in Deep South Magazine.

In the essay, Bauer writes, “How many of my parents’ friends remarked to me over the years, “You always had a book with you.” I learned early that would cure boredom if our parents got caught up in their partying, and we got stuck much longer than expected at someone’s house with no other children to play with. I would find a corner and read. I had imagined writing books like that, but my graduate school papers took me in a more scholarly direction with my writing.”

Deep South is an online magazine covering the literature and culture of the South. It strives to celebrate Southern literature by interviewing authors, reviewing their books, creating reading lists, and visiting landmarks.
