Edgar Allan Poe

American Writer (b. 1809 - d. 1849)

t’s true.  When you say Edgar Allan Poe most people know who that is.  The poem The Raven is likely to come to mind.  The question is how much do you really know about Poe the man and his life?  People imagine a man who writes stories about murders and mad men must be a morbid and mysterious figure.  But most of what we know about Poe is wrong. His real life story gets tangled up with myths and misinformation.
