This year's SFPA Halloween Poetry Reading editor Stace Johnson issued a thank you to everyone who submitted poetry for the 2016 SFPA Halloween Poetry Reading. "From what I can tell looking through the prior years, we had more submissions than ever before, so I'm going to call it an unqualified success! Thank you also to F.J. Bergmann for doing the website work and helping to keep me on task."
I really enjoyed all of these. There's a wonderful mix of the macabre and the gruesome, the humorous and the profound. Be sure to check out the poets and their wonderful audio recordings over at http://www.sfpoetry.com/halloween.html.
