#OnThisDay in 1845, the public first experienced the "tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door" when Poe's The Raven was published in the NY Mirror. The eerie atmosphere and talking bird made Poe a household name, and remains the only poem to have inspired the name of a football team. (Seriously folks, let's have more literary team names, less racist stereotypes. Who's with me?) #HistoryGetsLIT
pickI got this as an e-book from the library. It was supposed to be illustrated, but apparently that did not apply to the e-book version, so that was pretty disappointing. I already felt pretty familiar with the poem, but I find it difficult not to just imagine Homer reading it from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror.
Visited the wonderful Raven Cafe when visiting my parents this week in Michigan. The atmosphere is fantastic, though very crowded when we went. The food has great Poe names, and tasted amazing. If you‘re ever near Port Huron, MI, I really recommend stopping by.

My town is having a Grand Raven Festival this month, which is a bunch of spooky outside events! The library is participating in a Raven Walk, where a librarian takes a small group of people to various places in town to read the stanzas of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven! Guess who offered to volunteer as tribute? 😁👐 I couldn't resist taking a picture with our Poe scarecrow too! I had so much fun being spooky and nerdy! 💖📚👻🐱🎃
Thanks to @ShyBookOwl for posting that today is the 175th anniversary of the publication of The Raven. Time to read it oncemore...

One of my all time favourite illustrations 🤪
Book related tees. I think these are so cute! From Boredwalk T-shirt‘s. I picked my 4 favs. My fav is the Oxford Comma one, but I could buy them all.
On this day in 1845, “The Raven” was published! I‘m celebrating by reading as much Edgar Allen Poe as possible and making Cask of Amontillado jokes to uninterested coworkers.
My dad got me these fingerless reading gloves! The black ones having part of the story of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe and the white ones have Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare on them! I ❤ them!

#Lost #NoFemmeber The Raven is my favorite work from Poe: it's so evocative- a vivid expression of the horrors behind grief. Amanda Palmer's 'Lost' is like the positive side of the same issue--instead of "Nevermore", your lost loved one pops in your mind to visit you occasionally. Palmer is as strong of a lyricist as she is a performer- the quote here isn't the best example, but I had to go with it because of the couch cushion connection ?
I thought you might like to meet my friend, Edgar Allan Pug.
pick#BlackCatChallenge Day 7: While most are familiar with Poe‘s The #Raven, not many people may know about this Gustave Dore illustrated edition of Poe‘s Raven and other poems. This poem is definitely worth revisiting with Dore‘s vision that is able to effectively capture the grief and the ghastly appearance of the raven that utters nothing but Nevermore.
