i wrote a little paragraph dedicated to him and his legacy!:
Poet, literary critic, visionary, inventor of the detective story, master of the macabre — this was Edgar Allan Poe. Recognized as one of the most influential and widely read American authors of the nineteenth century, the writer's work fascinates schoolchildren and scholars alike.
On his two-hundredth birthday, Poe yet lives. His poem, "The Raven," is one of the most memorable in the English language, and his highly original tales, including "The Pit and the Pendulum" and "The Tell-Tale Heart," continue to amaze and terrify.
