Dramatic readings of The Raven or the Bells is how most people know Poe's poetry. He is the goth's goth and his flowery verse with naiads and nymphs and grave worms feasting on the lost beloved hasn't necessarily aged well, though they were the style of his age. These poems remain sad and sweet and despairing, rather like him. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0753814080, Hardcover)

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream...
--From A Dream Within a Dream

His poem The Raven caused a sensation, and was nevermore forgotten, but Edgar Allan Poe produced many more powerful and haunting verses. The Bells vividly describes the varied meanings and sounds of the chimes, from merry wedding bells to "brazen" alarms to death tolls. Go back to the "kingdom by the sea" where Annabel Lee lived, loved, and died. Forty-eight poems in all will keep readers riveted.
