This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 20, 2012.Paul Laurence Dunbar (June 27, 1872 – February 9, 1906) was an African American poet, novelist, and playwright of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Much of his popular work in his lifetime used a Negro dialect, which helped him become one of the first nationally-accepted African American writers. Much of his writing, however, does not use dialect; these more traditional poems have become of greater interest to scholars.(Summary by Wikipedia )

    Enter the haunting world of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poem, "The Raven," brought to life by the evocative narration of Anthony Pica. This timeless piece of gothic literature tells the story of a grief-stricken man visited by a mysterious raven in the dead of night.

    Poe’s masterful use of language and rhythm creates an atmosphere of eerie melancholy, drawing listeners into the depths of the narrator’s tortured soul. Anthony Pica’s powerful narration captures the dark and foreboding tone of the poem, making it an unforgettable auditory experience. 
    Perfect for fans of gothic literature, poetry lovers, and those who appreciate the macabre, "The Raven" is a must-have addition to any audiobook collection. Immerse yourself in this classic tale of loss, longing, and the supernatural, and discover why it remains one of the most celebrated works in American literature.
