Johnstown Sonata in C Major
The (first) Johnstown Flood occurred in Johnstown Pennsylvania in 1889. It was the worse tragedy in American history before September 11, 2001, in terms of lives lost.
This poem is a found poem of sorts, mixing actual accounts by survivors and witnesses with the creative process. It is a poem in long form, 8 pages of writing.
The poem was originally published by Zouch Magazine, and can be found using the link below.
