WELCOME, DEAR CURIOUS AND EXTRA-ADVENTUROUS READER!

Through narrative we become more human. Truth is beauty. Exploration is infinite.

I am C.M. Mayo, writer, poet, and literary translator. Member, Texas Institute of Letters. www.cmmayo.com

I’ve been blogging here at “Madam Mayo” since 2006 about my works, recommended reading, and whatever and whomever else pops up a-blinking on my super-extra-interesting radar.

Why the funny name? A poet once wrote to me, Dear Madam Mayo, and I thought that was hilarious. (Ha, I’m old enough to remember the Gang of Four.)

In 2019 I will once again be blogging on Mondays, except when not, devoting the second Monday of the month to my writing workshop students and anyone else interested in creative writing, and the fourth to a Q & A with a fellow writer.
