David McCord was an American poet who is better remembered for his fundraising efforts as executive director of the Harvard College Fund. He won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1954 and was warded the first national award for Excellence in Poetry for Children from the National Council of Teachers of English.
McCord’s ‘Macklin’s Jack O’ Lantern’ delves into the whimsical art of pumpkin carving, which spirals into a tale of suspense and fear.
Mr. Macklin takes his knife And carves the yellow pumpkin face: Three holes bring eyes and nose to life, The mouth has thirteen teeth in place.
