Halloween display
The kids are helping the librarian
with a seasonal display
they keep asking:
is this scary enough?
Witches&bitches
pumpkins&trolls
wizards&lizards
& hungry magicians
Ghosts&hosts
of spooky castles
long-legged spiders
& The Nightmare before Christmas
The librarian says:
Yes and no and
… but what do you think?
Then the kids find a book
in the adult non-fiction
the most scary cover of them all:
a man who cries.

Halvardson was born in Sweden on a cold winter's day in 1982. When she
was old enough she escaped to England and ended up in Brighton which
inspired her to write a novel. It's called Punkindustriell hårdrockare med attityd and was published in Sweden last year. She's also active, going by the stage name of Lou Ice, as a performance poet. www.myspace.com/louicepoetry82
