Welcome back to another of our Staff Selects! Today I read a bit about one of my favorite poets. I was introduced to Poe in school, like alot of people, but have sense been fascinated by poetry and how it is written. The book I am reading from is "Poe: Essays and Reviews" which is a book published under the Libraries of America with a collection of Poe's writing gathered by G.R. Thompson. I like the idea of eventually reading a few poems here on the channel so I thought it fitting to begin with Poe's thoughts on the composition of poetry. It's a very wordy breakdown, but I enjoyed it and felt some of you might also.
Last weeks Part 1 was about the composition and theory of poetry, and this weeks Part 2 will be where Poe dissects the Raven and explains his thought process that led to the legendary poem.
We hope you enjoy this sneak peak at this book, and as always if you enjoy the story then we invite you to visit your local library and ask them to reserve it for you!
