Author Anthony Di Micco was born in 1950, in the small town of Campodipietra in the Molise region of Italy. In 1957, as a small boy, he immigrated with his mother and younger brother to join his father in Canada. For two years, the family lived in Leamington, Ontario, before moving to Montreal, Quebec.

After acquiring a BA in Sociology from Loyola College, and a teaching degree at McGill University, he spent thirty-four years as an elementary school teacher before retiring, and now enjoys travelling and writing poetry.

Halloween is Anthony's third published work, following two poetry anthologies: Expressions of the Heart and The Four Seasons: Beyond Autumn Leaves on the Other Side of the Moon.
