Rare Northern Lights in Kentucky Inspire a Poet's Love Poem

Silas House, a writer based in the South, recently witnessed the northern lights from his home in Kentucky. This rare sight in Appalachia inspired him to write a new love poem. The poem is dedicated to his husband, his partner of nearly two decades. House had long believed the aurora could only be seen in places like Iceland or Alaska. Seeing it from his own garden came as a shock. The experience moved him to craft a piece titled Northern Lights.

The poem is part of his latest work, All These Ghosts, published in September. The collection marks another milestone in his literary career. The poem celebrates both the natural wonder and his enduring relationship. All These Ghosts is now available for readers to explore. The northern lights, once a distant dream, became the spark for this heartfelt dedication.
