Etsy Picks: Crafting Poe

Posted by Kelly on December 17th, 2008 at 12:24pm

For those non-football fans out there, this past weekend, my hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, beat the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North title, 13 to 9, with a touchdown in the last 43 seconds of playing time.  It was a pretty exciting game towards the end and I have to tell you that the people of Pittsburgh are completely thrilled.  Steelers fans are serious about their team, let me tell yinz guys (Pittsburgh inside joke!).

Anyways, in light of the Ravens loss, I’ve been thinking Baltimore.  And one thing Baltimore always reminds me of is Edgar Allen Poe, one of my all-time favorite writers.  He was dark and moody and ultimately, a misunderstood genius during his day.  His work is timeless — from The Tell-Tale Heart to Annabel Lee and of course, The Raven (now do you see the football connection?  Baltimore Ravens — who knew the NFL had such subtle literary allusions floating around?!).

So here’s my wrap up of my top 5 favorite Edgar Allen Poe inspired art and crafts — I hope they spark a little bit of creativity in you.

“Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term art, I should call it “the Reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the mist” – Edgar Allen Poe
