About the author

Myra Cohn Livingston was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Her family moved to California when she was 12 years old.

She knew she wanted to write.

[Paul Hankins · Rating 5 out of 5]

In celebration of mothers, a collection of poems by X. J. Kennedy ("House Noises"), Valerie Worth ("My Mother"), Lucille Clifton ("My Natural Mama"), and Myra Cohn Livingston ("Working with My Mother"). This was a Friends of the Library sale find for me. . .
