Happy (Belated) Birthday, Mr. Poe!
Yesterday, Jan. 19, 2009, marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe. Even though he was only 40 when he died on October 7, 1849, he forever left his mark on the world with his poetry and storytelling. If you're like me and haven't given Poe a thought since high school, check out some of these offerings:
