Poe Artists: Edgar Allan Poe 2009 Calendar Author and Poe scholar Rob Velella has
For the Poe fan that has everything... This limited edition EDGAR ALLAN POE daily desk calendar will let you celebrate the 200th birthday of the macabre and mystery every day in 2009. Edgar Allan Poe was born January 19, 1809. Two hundred years later, events are being planned around the United States (and the world) in honor of the man whose writings still strike a chord today. Known for his dark tales of horror, Poe is also credited as the inventor of the modern detective story ("The Murders in the Rue Morgue"), the progenitor of modern science fiction ("Balloon-Hoax" and several others), and for his many 19th-century humor pieces (like "Never Bet the Devil Your Head"). He was also one of the most important literary critics of his day. This calendar will take readers from his birth in January through the mystery of his death in October. The year ends on December 31 with a quote from Poe's unique (and little-known) essay "Eureka." Along the way, listings will tell you about anniversaries - large and small - including events that shaped Poe's work and world. Throughout the year, Poe will write letters to people like Nathaniel Hawthorne, witness the Bank Panic of 1837, and travel overseas.
Throughout 2009, this limited edition calendar will introduce you to many, many facets of the complicated Edgar Poe. Voraciously-researched by author and publisher Rob Velella, it has been described by Poe afficionados and experts as a biography of Poe, presented in an unusual format. This item is not available in major book or calendar retailers. This is a rare opportunity for the true Poe fans and for those who are dying to learn more. And what better time to do it than 2009, 200 years after the birth of Poe?
