A Memoir From A Master Storyteller

Marshall Terry ’53, ’54 shares a lighthearted moment with Charlotte Whaley ’70, ’76, editor emeritus of the Southwest Review, at a reception and book signing for his memoir, Loving U. Terry’s book is described as “an affectionate and clear-eyed narrative” of his more than 50-year relationship with the University. The professor emeritus of English and architect of SMU’s creative writing program, Terry offers his unique perspectives on famous moments in Hilltop history – including poet T.S. Eliot’s visit in 1958 – and beloved figures such as President Willis Tate (1954-72). Terry will receive the third annual Literati Award from the Friends of the SMU Libraries March 31, 2012. Loving U. may be purchased from DeGolyer Library – call 214-768-0829 for more information – and the SMU Barnes & Noble Bookstore.
