The Poe Project: The mystic moon of "The Sleeper"
I've never read more evocative lines, and I'm pleased with the fidelity I brought to the condensing, dripping moon vapor of Poe's imagination. These illustrations typically run…

The Poe Project: The next poem is "The Sleeper"
For my second set of illustrations I've chosen "The Sleeper" which, like Poe himself, I prefer to "The Raven." Over familiarity may have something to do with it: As a child I…

The Poe Project: "Annabel Lee" is finished!
I let the poem "tell" me how many illustrations it required and the answer was eight. So far I haven't seen a slideshow anywhere on Steemit, but that would be a good format to…

The Poe Project: Of Annabel Lee and typos
Hard to believe but I read the poem on this page 10 times and missed that I'd spelled "dissevered" wrong - didn't notice till I went to post just now. It's easily corrected, just…

The Poe Project: Annabel Lee "goes west"
The trees in this illustration are perfection, providing a barren and slightly menacing frame for the departing horse-drawn carriage bearing away his beloved. I decided to…

The Poe Project: A killing wind
"Annabel Lee" was published posthumously, Poe's last completed poem, and it feels like the work of a young and vigorous man, not someone as hard pressed as he. For the…

The Poe Project: Annabel Lee and devotion
