I am Edgar Allan
Poe. Or I was on Saturday for a writers’ conference.
Ghosts and witches
are common sights at Halloween, but Saturday’s dress code ran more to literary figures
and characters. If you are still looking for a costume, here are some ideas
based on what I saw there.
Our keynote
speaker came as Emily Dickinson and was accompanied by two of her poems.
Unfortunately, he shed the costume before I got a photo. We also had a Laura
Ingalls Wilder, a Louisa May Alcott, and a Joyce Carol Oates. I was the only
male literary figure, although our grand prize winner was the Mad Hatter. Here
is a photo of him with Laura Ingalls Wilder and Louisa May Alcott.
So if you don’t
have a costume yet, try your favorite author.
