The Complete Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe (Signet Classics)
Paperback | 139 pages
Explore the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty in Edgar Allan Poeās 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 āTo Helen,ā to his immortal masterpieces, āAnnabel Lee,ā āThe Bells,ā and āThe Raven,ā 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 āThe Haunted Palaceā and āThe Conqueror Worm,ā 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 āEldoradoā a talisman to hold during our darkest momentsāa timeless gift from a great American writer.
Includes an Introduction by Jay Parini
and an Afterword by April Bernard
