There are hard, unflinching mill scenes in my novel THIRSTY. Mill life was brutal—this week’s explosion is proof it still is.
It’s also the book where I first dug deep into women’s lives—& how they navigated men, danger & survival.

The first poem I ever published—"Crumbling Steeples"—was about that mill in the ’80s. It grew into my first published novel, THIRSTY. Clairton & the Clairton Coke Works shaped my life and my voice. Still does.
