Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

This month we’re celebrating Women’s History in the Mountains and beyond. In this episode, we’re drawing from our Archives here at WMMT. In 1995, then WMMT producer Maxine Kenny recorded 15 Appalachian women writers talking about their lives and reading their work. The recordings were edited into an audio series, narrated by Tennessee Poet Nikki Giovanni. The series is made up of interviews with Jo Carson, Lou Crabtree, Denise Giardina, Wilma Dykeman, Michelle Y. Green, Barbara Kingsolver, George Ella Lyon, Bobbie Ann Mason, Sharyn McCrumb, Rita Quillen, Mary Lee Settle, Ann Shelby, and Lee Smith. And with Marilou Awiakta and Nikki Giovanni whose interviews and readings you'll hear in this episode
