So…Poe…

Posted on October 20th, 2008 by koolteecha

These couple of weeks around All Hallow’s Eve are some of my favorites of the year!  POE IS MY HOMEBOY!  :)

I hope that yesterday gave you a BRIEF insight to the GENIUS that is Edgar Allan Poe.  He was a brilliant, tortured writer who wrote about the miseries and horror that he lived.  

Today we’ll explore his life and works a little deeper.  The link below will take you to a FABULOUS website that will not only teach you more about Poe’s life, but will give you an opportunity to take an in-depth look at Poe’s work and his distinct STYLE.

Put your headphones on and plan on spending some SERIOUS time exploring this website!

Hopefully after today, you guys will know…Poe.

    I would want to read, “The Black Cat”. I want to know what a cat would do in revenge, and in Poe’s imagination, it has to be something interesting and out of the normal and unexpecxted, and shocking, and freaky so I’d like to read this one.

    And I feel like I’d get interested really easy, because the summary had me wanting to know more, already.
