Mt. Lebanon Embraces Poets, Crafters Of Fiction

As if plotting rebellion, writers and readers come to the sweltering, two-room apartment above a dry cleaners and bakery, sinking into castoff couches or sitting rigid on folding chairs. A ceiling fan stirs stale air on a sweltering late-summer evening.

Terry Dubow, a fiction writer from Cleveland, arrives among the latecomers and walks to a music stand-cum-podium to read from a recent short story, a dark piece about sexual power and damage.

Paper Street Press, a Mt. Lebanon-based literary magazine, has opened one of its regular reading sessions along Beverly Road.
