Send us Fan MailThis episode is a reprise of Becoming Poe - the Celebrate Poe episode with the second highest number of downloads.I make some opening remarks, and a preview for 1st episode of this podcast, followed by a brief preview of the next episode (The First American Gay Novel)REPRISE OF EPISODE ONEThis episode basically explains where I am coming from regarding this podcast - my (almost) journey from working at a computer store to being a guide at the Poe  Museum in Richmond - generally believed to be the largest collection of Poe-related memorabilia in the world.  (and a REALLY AWESOME place)Then I explain how I became (more or less) Edgar Allan Poe for the West Virginia Humanities Council History Alive program (what a mouthful)  My job was to travel through the state doing programs as Poe for schools, libraries, book fairs, etc.  And I was surprised to find that Poe was treated like a rock star!Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
