Helena Eriksson

(June 6, 1962 –)

Helena Maria Eriksson was a Swedish fan active in Gothenburg fandom during the 1980s, primarily as a contributor to several fanzines, most prolifically to Göteborgs Fhanveckliga, started more or less as a parody on other fannish fanzines but developing into a sometimes huge and greatly varied genzine; here, she became famous in fandom not least for her satirical and sometimes erotically outspoken poems (one, entitled "If I Had a Prick", was singled out for much commentary).

She was also noted as an actress in short movies produced by Gothenburg fans. In 1990, she published her first book of poetry; her twelfth and so far latest followed in 2021, and she is considered a major Swedish poet as well as essayist. Beginning in 2000, she has also published well received anthologies and translations of French poets and authors, including Marguerite Duras and Anaïs Nin, but she has had little contact with organised fandom since the early 1990s.
