This Top Five Classics illustrated edition of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven includes: • All 25 illustrations by Gustave Doré for Harper & Brothers’ 1884 edition • An informative Introduction • A detailed Biography of Edgar Allan Poe • The illustrated version and text-only version of the full poem No poem has ever received the kind of immediate and overwhelming response that Poe’s “The Raven” did when it first appeared in the New York Evening Mirror on January 29, 1845. It made Poe an overnight sensation (though his great fame never brought him much wealth) and the poem, a powerfully haunting elegy to lost love, remains one of the most beloved and recognizable verses in the English language. The illustrations that accompany this Top Five Classics edition are reproductions of the renowned French artist Gustave Doré’s steel-plate engravings created for Harper & Brothers’ 1884 release of The Raven. It would be Doré’s last commission as he died shortly after completing the 25 illustrations in January 1883. His illustrations would become famous in their own right, evoking as they do the lyrical and mystical air of Poe’s masterpiece.

This is the fifth book in the series of poetry collections by this author, who was born in Trinidad, raised in Cayman Islands and became Canadian by choice a few years after his service at sea around the world. A sea mariner by nature, he worked the coastal waters of British Columbia, strolled the beaches for his peace of mind, drove through the feverish highways of Vancouver while raising his family on the outskirts of that city during his employment with BC Ferries. Now enjoying a well-earned retirement after more than 50 years of working, he wishes to share with you, his bits and pieces of thoughts that he accumulated over the course of his life. It is with pleasure that he presents to you this book of A Poet's Ebb and Flow with which he hopes that you will harvest a mental serenity and repose from the chaos of today's world.
