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.
ReplyDeleteHe also had a knack for making enemies, was a severe alcoholic and may have died from syphilis.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of reading Poe's writings. Wonderful video, John.
ReplyDeleteHe 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~
Quite a character!
