Boo-ographies
From the Biography Channel, read about some spooky characters from history, including Edgar Allan Poe, master spinner of creepy tales. This year is the 200th anniversary of his birth and Baltimore (D.C.’s happening neighbor to the north) is pulling out all the stops to honor its most famous resident with Nevermore 2009. Events are scheduled through the end of the year.
(Nevermore is from “The Raven,” and that is where my knowledge of the term’s literary significance ends.)
