Ravin' of the Week : (October 2002)

Operatic Wunderkind and Poe Fan

I am almost 13 years old and in 8th grade and I LOVE Edgar Allan Poe!!! I've been a fan since I was 8, and I can recite all of The Raven from memory. I even wrote an OPERA about his life because I love him so much. I DESPISE all the Griswold's in my class who say that Poe was a crazy alcoholic and nothing else. They obviously can't appreciate the beauty of his work. But I can...

I'm just writing to say how much I love your website. I just discovered it and it is now my favorite! Thanks to you, my English teacher is even more scared of me!  (He's not letting us read Edgar's work anymore because I keep reciting it along with the reader...)

Well, I just wanted to tell you that because I'm leaving your site,
Ah, never, nevermore...

PF replies:  An Opera at eight years old?   You wouldn't happen to be Mozart, by any chance?!!!  Maybe they should be studying YOU instead of Poe at school!!! hehehe
