A Visit with Edgar Allan Poe

A Visit with Edgar Allan Poe

From the “tintinnabulation” of ringing bells, to the chills of a talking raven, Edgar Allan Poe’s poetry enchants our imaginations. The writer is legendary for his eerie tales of suspense and as inventor of the modern-day detective story.

Join storyteller and re-enactor Kurtis Kelly for a spellbinding hour in remembrance of this literary icon. The program begins with Poe’s recollections from his tumultuous life and how those events influenced his writings. Then enjoy a performance of “The Bells”, “The Fall of the House of Usher”, and “The Raven”.

This free presentation is “a-Poe-priate-ly” timed for April’s celebration of National Poetry Month. The one-night-only “Poe-formance” takes place at the Bemis Public Library on Tuesday, April 23, from 6 to 7 p.m. and then … “nevermore”! Come hear Poe in a program suitable for all ages.
