AUTHOR TINA KELLEY PODCAST

We caught up with local author Tina Kelley, who discuses her new book, Almost Home

Hear her read from her book on Saturday night at the Ethical Culture Society:

 Tina Kelley reads from her new book, Almost Home, at 3d Saturday Arts Night, June 16th, 6:30 to 10:00PM. Tina is on the staff of Covenant House founded in 1972 “with the mission to help homeless youth escape the streets.” The book, which she co-wrote with Kevin Ryan, “tells the stories of six remarkable young people from across the United States and Canada as they confront life alone on the streets.” It is in the queue to be published this fall.

Tina was a reporter at The New York Times for ten years and was a part of its coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks that won a Pulitzer Prize. Next she ran The Local, a news blog covering Maplewood, Millburn and South Orange, for the Times. Previously Tina worked at the Seattle Times and Philadelphia Inquirer. Her first book of poems, The Gospel of Galore, (Word Press, 2003) won a Washington State Book Award. Tina read her poems on November 19, 2010 for 3rd Saturday Arts 1st Eclectic Chaos Art Show here at ECSEC.
