Edgar Allan Poe. Poe is one of the greatest poets of all time. I love all of his poems dearly, and I also like his short stories. Poe has a beautiful way of describing things, with the most vivid and imaginative vocabulary (for help with vocabulary click here ). It is true that he died long ago, but his poems still having meaning even today.

Check it out! Hollywood is making "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" into a movie. It's called The Mesmerist--visit the site at www.themesmerist.com

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

I don't want to offend anyone or deter anyone from coming to my site, but----please, please, please, I'm begging you----DO NOT email me very complex questions (example: Could you give me an analysis of the poem ----? Please send me any information you have on Poe, his poems, and anything else relevant, etc). I have school, too, you know. I believe everyone is capable of going to a library or even to a search engine and looking up whatever information you need.

Printing Problems

If you are having problems printing, please read my instructions on how to print.

Due to complaints about the backgrounds, I have created new eye-friendly versions which are marked by EF. By clicking the EF that's next to the poem you want to read, you can go to a page that has large black text on a white background. This is not only for people who have trouble seeing; it's also for people who have been surfing the net for a while and their eyes just a need a break. So enjoy! More are on the way.

Poems of the Youth. Here is Poe's note about these, "Private reasons--some of which have reference to the sin of plagiarism, and others to date of Tennyson's first poems--have induced me, after some hesitation to republish these, the crude compositions of my earliest boyhood. They are printed verbatim, without alteration from the original edition, the date of which is too remote to be judiciously acknowledged."

I apologize that this is taking so long, but I hand type all of these stories and poems (and I have been extremely busy lately). However, I now have help. Special thanks go to Annie for "The Murders of the Rue Morgue"; DoubleJ04 for "A Descent into the Maelstrom" and the "The Gold-Bug"; Dave for "The Angel of the Odd"; and finally Zsuzsanna for "Never Bet the Devil Your Head." "The Man of the Crowd" was typed up by J. Goodwin, and "Hop-Frog" was typed by Bob Hope. Thanks to you all!

Goals

I want to make this page easy to access and a page that you would want to bookmark. I have already completed adding the poems of Poe's adult life to this page, and I am endeavoring to put all of his short stories up. I know it takes me a while to put a story online, but you have to understand that I type everything (and I mean everything!!!) that's on here. I'm working on them as fast as I can. Please be patient.

Now that I've helped you out, you can help me out by sending me any suggestions for improvements of this site.

If you find any spelling errors or other problems, please notify me. I really want this page to run as smoothly as possible. One final note: tell me if you like the background! I will fix it if it causes problems. That goes for the pages which have the actual poetry itself on it.
