While you’re watching Charlie Brown, carving your pumpkins & decorating to get ready for halloween, there’s 1 more item you should add to the yearly rituals – reading Richard Brautigan poems!

I’ve collected 5 Halloween themed poems, including:

Boo, Forever
There is Darkness on your Lantern
The Pumpkin Tide
Halloween in Denver
After Halloween Slump (to be read on November 1st!)

Here’s another video from @BoundToBeRead to celebrate their national poetry month. Writer/blogger Mickey Dubrow (writer & blogger) reads “The Garlic Meat Lady”. I love his commentary at the end too – anyone who mixes food & sex & fun is ok in my book too!
