A question from Facebook's ASK ME ANYTHING...

A question from Facebook's ASK ME ANYTHING...

Submitted by Kellie J.: 

What was one of the most surprising things 
you learned while writing this book of poetry 
inspired by Chicago? 
[Spirits of the Prairie: The Things That Go 
Bump In A Windy City Night]

Melanie P. Falina:
I think that once I got to really thinking about 
the local ghost stories we've all heard in our 
lifetimes, it surprised me just how much of that 
lore is actually meshed with the history of Chicago. 
I'd never really thought of it in that way before, 
but it made it very easy for me to combine the 
two in some of the poems.
