Poem: Lenore

Text the showTRIGGER WARNING: this episode will discuss themes of DEATH OF A LOVED ONE and MOURNING.Today’s episode helped me in very personal ways that I can’t express enough gratitude to Edgar Allan Poe for. Although he wrote this poem all the way back in 1831, it resonates with this fellow creative artist nearly two centuries in the future. It is yet another testament that while writing America’s greatest scary stories and creepy tales, Edgar Allan Poe still found time to write some of the most touching and beautiful poems about love and loss that we’ve yet seen in human history. May this poem also help carry you through any loss you have or will experience.This podcast is perfect for educators, teachers, students and schools/colleges looking to educate themselves and others on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Victorian era writing, old ghost stories and classic horror fiction. Also great for fans of horror, Lovecraftian lore, Gothic fiction, poetry, short horror fiction, and timeless classic scary stories.Music and narration by Tynan Portillo.Support The Poe Show! https://ko-fi.com/thepoeshowWebsite: https://www.thepoeshow.com/Horror Movie Reviews on The Poe Show YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thepoeshowpodcastBluesky: thepoeshow.bsky.socialTikTok: @poeshowpodcastInstagram & Threads: @thepoeshowpodcastEmail: [email protected] music by Emmett Cooke on PremiumBeat.Support the show
