The Essential
Edgar allan poe
While he never had financial success in his lifetime, Poe has become one
of America’s most enduring writers. His works are as compelling today
as they were more than a century ago.
He captured the imagination and interest of readers around the world.
He first published a poem, “The Raven” in 1845. His work focused on
common themes of the time – death and loss.
Join us to learn what made Poe tick and more about his life and poems.
