Indeed I am! 

My first memory of checking out a book at the public library, it was a collection of poetry by him.  Great big heavy book, that I read out loud to my Mother’s horror. Lol

Is this photo of his tomb in Baltimore?  I, too, am a fan of Poe.

Yes, at Westminster. Lovely place. 

What are some of your favorites from his collection?

I would have to list first his poem "The Raven" which BTW must have been the source of Baltimore's NFL team, the Ravens. I love the atmospherics of this poem.  But his  short stories are riveting as well, like "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", and the "Fall of the House of Usher".  He was extraordinary!

I was raised in Baltimore, 'way back when it had over one million people, many more than now. Real industry--Bethlehem Steel and Maryland Shipbuilding and Dry Dock; major banks and the Baltimore Morning and Evening Sun. The Block.  Why were you in Baltimore? When Mayor Schaeffer said he was going to convert the Inner Harbor into a tourist area, in the early 1970's, everyone laughed. When it opened in 1977, there were more visitors that year to the Inner Harbor than to Disney World. Were you visiting relatives? Friends? Baltimore now has become the third restaurant/entertainment area for Washington DC.

Mais nous avons aime avec un amour qui etait plus que l’amour

Moi et mon Annabel Lee

Avec un amour que les anges ailes du ciel 
Ils et elle me convoitaient 
 
I am breathless in your presence. ?
