My poem about the modern ghost town "Centralia, PA" is featured at Rattle today: https://www.rattle.com/centralia-pa-...F0EHDm-hHZpEdA

Congratulations, Aaron!

[Catherine Chandler]

An interesting take on a tragic story. I grew up fifty miles northeast of Centralia, in the Wyoming Valley (Wilkes-Barre) where -- on certain days when the wind was blowing a certain way -- you could smell the Laurel Run mine fire as well as other culm-bank fires year-round.

[Aaron Poochigian]

Thank you, Erik.

Catherine, wow, you grew up right there--next to the "haunted town." Cool.

[Gail White]

O wow. That is impressive.
