Tube City Writers Live 2021

AUGUST 18, 2021

Tube City Writers (TCW) held their second Tube City Writers Live at the Carnegie Library of McKeesport on June 17. The theme this year was who inspires you? Participating writers reading at the event were Colette Funches, of McKeesport, Ed Boyko, of Glassport, Jim Busch, of White Oak, Jennifer McCalla, of West Mifflin, Maria Palmer, of McKeesport, Tayler Cleveland, of McKeesport and Nya O’Neal, of West Mifflin. An enthusiastic audience was on hand to hear their stories about a wide range of Mon Valley residents who have made a difference in their communities. The Mon Valley Photography Collective also displayed recent work from photography outings around the region. You can still view their photographs at the library.

Here are some of the moments that made for a memorable evening.
