Poe has never been a favorite of mine as far as poets go but I am grateful that Miller discussed him in non-stereotypical light. So many people write Poe off as a creepy recluse with a tendency

to focus on fear of the unknown. In reality Poe is much more than that, he is the genius who fathered detective fiction, Holmes and Watson would never have existed without his guidance. I have never studied Poe at depth but I enjoyed the opportunity to work it out with peers. My favorite of his works was not discussed unfortunately, but the concept behind this piece is how guilt drives us to the brink of insanity, which I can't wait to discuss in more detail with Crime and Punishment.
