Well, I won't claim to know anything about West Virginia or coal mining. But the poem itself is wonderfully written. Full of really intense images and wonderful use of metaphors. Even though I know nothing of either of the two things within the poem, I can still see myself there.

Flawless flow as per usual, this hums along at a melodic pace.

Really nice work Debs.
