Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer known for his captivating and dark works. His poems, such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee," explore themes of death, lost love, and the human psyche. Poe's poetry is characterized by vivid imagery, musicality, and rich symbolism. Despite initially limited recognition, his poems gained popularity after his death and are celebrated for their haunting beauty and introspection.
