THE COMPLETE POETRY OF EDGAR ALLAN POE - EDGAR ...

Explore the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty in Edgar Allan Poe's verse in this
complete poetry collection. Although best known for his short stories  Edgar Allan Poe was by
nature and choice a poet. From his exquisite lyric To Helen  to his immortal masterpieces 
Annabel Lee  The Bells  and The Raven  Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets
Shelley  Byron  and Keats  and his haunting  sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the
Victorian giants Swinburne  Tennyson  and Rossetti. Today his dark side speaks eloquently to
contemporary readers in poems such as The Haunted Palace and The Conqueror Worm  with their
powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life  Poe reached out to
his art for comfort and courage  giving us in Eldorado a talisman to hold during our darkest
moments-a timeless gift from a great American writer. Includes an Introduction by Jay Parini
and an Afterword by April Bernard
