    About this audiobook

    Although Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is known mainly for his tales of the macabre and the supernatural and is an acknowledged master of these genres, he thought of himself primarily as a poet.

    Here is a collection of over thirty of his poems including two of the best known "The Raven" and “Annabel Lee”.

    Edgar Allan Poe

    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.

      The zejel is an old Spanish poetic form that may also be an older Arabic poetic form—dating back to the ninth century. In fact, Edward Hirsch’s A Poet’s Glossary reports that the form may have been invented by Hispano-Muslim poet Muqaddam iben Muafá.
