In honor of National Poetry month, check out Paul Collins' new biography, Edgar Allen Poe: The Fever Called Living.
Collin's book describes the personal and professional life of the master of the horror behind The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, and other classic works, including a discussion of his rocky relationship with his wealthy adoptive father and his time spent working as an editor and reviewer. (Publisher Summary)
"The author also praises Poe’s late works and spends some time on Poe’s reputation. Although Collins doesn’t provide much new information, the clean, crisp narrative presents the puzzling Poe as a deeply troubled and toweringly talented artist." Kirkus Reviews
