Here's a video about Poe's life and one of my favorite poems The Raven.
What I find amazing is how The Raven sort of predicted the death of his wife and his own.
My all-time favorite author/poet. He could set a mood with words the way no one else has been able to do. His was a sad life. It seemed that life itself was a struggle for him most of the time.
I never tire of reading Poe's writings. Wonderful video, John. He was a tragic figure and he wrote from this. I have always been a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe. How sad that he had to die to be thought of as a great writer~
