About the book

[Poe's] poems have never gone out of print He has been translated into a vanety of lan- guages. Except for Frost, he may be the most popular American poet It is not too much to say that his yeaming for love, a home of utter peace, a place in the sun—cast against the grinding industrial explosion of the future— speaks not merely ot the American Dream but also of its latent, grotesque futility Poe understood the new world as an orphanage and himself as artist among the Philistines. --back cover
