In this episode I talk about an argument between Poe and a certain editor named Griswold. I'm calling it The Gentleman's Feud. I explain the rift between the two literary scholars and why Griswold wrote such a nasty obituary which actually did the opposite effect that made Poe infamous. I'm reading an original flash fiction short story called "For Elise" and the two poems I'm reading by Poe are "Lenore" and "The Sleeper". Happy listening!!
