I'm slowly working backwards through your fascinating blog (after a break of a couple of years). Everything you write is so interesting.

I just love that feeling of being scared, not knowing what's around the next corner. I think that Poe exorcised his own demons, sadness, family loss and grief and personal romantic losses by using his imagination as pure release of all negativity. Not sure about evil and corrupt and I've not heard about any involvement in murders! Poe will forever be an enigma to us all! Thank you for commenting and stopping by! I do love it when you drop in :)Kimberly Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701922878244863690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617545316864155046.post-20195795698690174982015-01-08T12:45:20.309-05:002015-01-08T12:45:20.309-05:00The Raven is a fantastic poem, justifiably regarde...The Raven is a fantastic poem, justifiably regarded as a classic. I'm not sure about any of the rest of his stuff though. I have to say that some of his stories do make me feel uncomfortable - eg The Telltale Heart, The Black Cat etc. I feel that there is something evil and corrupt about his imagination. I read somewhere that he might have been involved in genuine murders; it wouldn't surprise me...WoofWoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142792485921452481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617545316864155046.post-28941838798292038302014-10-20T18:34:56.535-04:002014-10-20T18:34:56.535-04:00I couldn't agree with you more, Melinda!I couldn't agree with you more, Melinda!

Just another one of those myths about Poe that may never be realized! His unpopularity may be given in part to his radical reviews of his friends poetry and to his terrible upbringing in Boston and family losses!

M.G.Lee said last week that Poe’s historically bitter ties with Boston — his relationship with the city’s literary elite was famously tense — generated discussion leading up to the statue-launching ceremony in that city. What can account for his unpopularity, do you think?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
