This article explains Poe's meanings in his work, mostly his preoccupation with death, and how that relates to us, and our own preoccupation with death also. A quote i really liked and might use is, " Poe's task is always the same as our own - to tell what cannot, or should not, be told." I like it because it shows thatpoe was a very controversial writer.

NHD topic choice.
Me & Ashley chose Edgar Allen Poe, because we figured he'd be the type of individual no one would really pick, although he's a really well known poet. Also, we picked him because we really wanted to do a writer and/or poet of some sort seeing as how writers had a HUGE impact in history. So choosing edgar allen poe seemed like a good fit, in part because he was such a great writer, had a huge impact on history, and also, the Edgar Allen Poe house is right in th city.
