A New Anthology of Ghost Poems

October 28, 2005 - Nearly 200 contemporary poets - many from the Kansas City area - contributed to a new poetry anthology called Chance of a Ghost. Co-editors and poets Gloria Vando and Phil Miller say the ghosts in the anthology make mischief, bring solace, issue warnings, and go on joy rides. Miller has been collecting ghost poems since the 1980s. Here, he reads his poem included in the anthology called Ghost in Late Autumn. By Laura Spencer
