LA Pop Art Edgar Allen Poe'S The Raven - Boy's Word Art Crewneck Sweatshirt Black X Small

Created using the first few lines of The Raven The name Edgar Allen Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Raven,” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. This is the Poe of legend. The Raven is undoubtedly one of Poe’s most haunting tales and this hand drawn image is created using the first few lines of the poem.
