Ending my night with some vintage Poe and a beer befitting the topic!
#edgarallanpoe
So I wanted to read Poe's correspondence as I find it a real insite into a person's mind. I found ONE book online printed in 2008 for over a $1000. Ummmm, nope!
I did however find a historical society that scanned the one made in the 1960s on line for all to view!! So excited.

Day #4 of my 7 days of Poe. This is getting more difficult than I thought it would be... Pulling everything off of the shelves and taking photos. 🤪 This is ‘The Collected Letters of Edgar Allan Poe‘, edited by J.W. Ostrom (published in 1948). Also a little raven statue, because it‘s Poe, and it‘s a raven, and you know.... 🤔 A bluebird, or an elephant, or a squirrel with an acorn wouldn‘t make a lot of sense. 😛
“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.” -Edgar Allan Poe
