One of America's most admired living poets revisits an American original.

About the author

Read throughout the world, translated by Baudelaire, and admired by writers as different as Dostoevsky and H. G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) has become a legendary figure, representing the artist as obsessed outcast and romantic failure. His nightmarish visions, shaped by cool artistic calculation, reveal some of the dark possibilities of human experience. But his enormous popularity and his continuing influence on literature depend less on legend or vision than on his stylistic accomplishments as a writer.

Richard Wilbur (1921-2017), editor, was Poet Laureate of the United States, 1987-88. Over the course of a distinguished career he was awarded the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize (twice), and the Bollingen Translation Prize. Among his many books are New and Collected Poems (1989) and Mayflies (2000).
