Ahhh...Edgar Allen Poe, America's brilliant, tormented, twisted literary genius! I pay him honor by writing my first review on this great site about his poetry. Not his stories, his poetry. The book I own contains ALL of his poems, not just the select few like "The Raven." (which of course, is a mind-blowing poem in its own right.) Poe is the master of rhyme and form. His poems paint colorful pictures in my head; I walk alone through the desolate "City In The Sea". I stand weeping next to the3 stars I needed another poetry book for the forty book challenge, and while this was very good poetry I didn't enjoy reading it as much as some others. This book was very poetic and you have to slow down to really understand. Edgar Allan Poe is very poetic and his poems often have elements of sadness and sorrow. Like I said, though it didn't flow like free-verse I still thought it was ok
Not wild about poetry, not wild about horror but I love, love love these poems. I'm becoming a big Edgar Allan Poe fan completely by accident.
First published in the New York Evening Mirror in 1845, The Raven, is perhaps one of Poes most well-known poems.A talking raven visits a man tormented by the loss of his love, the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore. The Raven perches upon the mans chamber door and foretells he will nevermore be reunited with his love, not even in death. With each refrain of nevermore the protagonist becomes more and more agitated until he finally succumbs to madness.And the raven, never
Published in January, 1845,"The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, is a poem, a lament, telling of loss, isolation, and loneliness. The opening lines identify the speaker as someone who feels tired and weak but is still awake in the middle of a gloomy night. He passes the time by reading a strange book of ancient knowledge. Poe uses alliteration to convey the effect of unsteadiness. This line also sets the poem's rhythmical pattern and provides the first example of the use of internal rhyme in "dreary"
Be nothing which thou art not.Overview 4/5 starsI don't read much of any poetry. Apart from poems I've read for school (way back when), this is my first book of poetry I've ever read. I will be reading more poetry from now on as I thoroughly enjoyed this. Poe is well known for the Raven, which everyone has heard at some point. Even the Simpsons recited it during a tree house of horror episode. His other works are also brilliant. There are, of course, a few misses but for the most part everything
In my estimation Poe was a nut case. The Ravern illustrates that more than anything else/
