A voice in Youngstown poetry for over 40 years, Terry Murcko helped Jim Villani start PigIron Press in the ’70’s. He retired from teaching and play directing after 35 years, and now spends much of his time as a “manny” looking after his grand-daughter, Madaleine. He recently won a prize from the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation, and is included in the new anthology, Fallen City Writers. He writes daily, completes at least one new poem each week, and participates monthly in Kent’s Last Exit poetry readings. He lives in Liberty where he and his wife, Linda helped raise five children. Terry also writes songs, rides a bicycle, walks with their dog, Lily, and roots for the Tribe with his friend Neno.
