It was just released yesterday.<br /><br />Erik Donald France, I did a much longer piece on Poe years ago and part of this post is taken from that essay. I'd like to visit Poe's grave sometime.<br /><br />Wil, You talking about the bird of the criminal element of the Baltimore Ravens NFL team?

They probably have it somewhere in the French Quarter though. Surely.<br />Vesper, Mine too. I think it was back in the 90s I took half a summer and reread almost everything by him and did a few poems and stories that were influenced by his work.<br /><br />Cheri, yes, that would seem to be an appropriate place to keep such reminders.

Congrats!<br /><br />Three things I can add about EAP: there's a Poe House In Philly, where he wrote "The Raven" (his stuffed raven is in the Free Library); he went to West Point, and fellow cadets paid for some of his poetry to be published before he left. Three: his grave is in Baltimore, and it's interesting.Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-58671338723833058512009-05-31T23:21:24.629-05:002009-05-31T23:21:24.629-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-73959481139054343422009-05-31T23:02:56.378-05:002009-05-31T23:02:56.378-05:00congrats, Charles! looks like a cool book.congrats, Charles! looks like a cool book.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344808703550376121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-3414440273987197942009-05-31T22:19:41.957-05:002009-05-31T22:19:41.957-05:00Middle Ditch, thanks.
