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.
