Excerpted from the website:
- Edgar Allan Poe Statue
- My life has Poe highlights. You didn’t know? Basically I—like enough other people to make me feel a little sick inside—find Edgar Allan Poe’s work resonating enough to barnacle it to the hull of my life with all the other accretions of memory and culture and experience that make me who I am, such as I am. I hope that analogy works decently enough. My other option was a homeless man pushing the shopping cart...of my life. As a result, whenever Poe’s influence on the world makes cameos in my life, it stands out in bas relief. Some of those cameos are more vivid to me than others. One such was visiting his graves. Another was seeing John Astin (the original Gomez Addams) perform a live one-man show dramatizing the poet, his life, and his work. A third was seeing Richard Lewis impersonate him in an episode of the litigation-shortened A.J.’s Time Travelers show on Fox Kids. All right, that wasn’t a highlight. Just random and weird. The highlight that is the subject of this article, though, was visiting the Edgar Allan Poe statue in Baltimore.
