SUMMARY:Mississippi Arts Hour – Kelly Foster Lundquist
DESCRIPTION:This week on the Arts Hour\, Lauren talks with author Kelly Foster Lundquist about her striking debut memoir titled Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage. In the book\, Kelly revisits her relationship with her first husband twenty years after their divorce as she investigates the “beard” trope in literature\, culture\, and her own romantic life. Kelly now lives in Minnesota\, but is from Yazoo City\, Mississippi\, and much of the book takes place in Jackson. Kelly talks about how the book took shape over twenty years of writing it\, her love of old movies and pop culture\, and how English literature classes changed her life. \nListen by subscribing to the Mississippi Arts Hour podcast through your favorite podcast app\, or listen online at http://msartshour.mpbonline.org/
