leonid17 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Edgar Allan Poe reviled by some in previous generations is now to shown respect with a re-burial and a tombstone. In this the bi-centenary of his birth, Mr. Poe is still read across the world and has been the inspiration for composers, film makers and dance makers and no doubt many others. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8301128.stm The Edgar Allan Poe Museum can be found at http://www.poemuseum.org/ Link to comment
