Poems are often forgotten, with some falling into obscurity. Beautiful pieces of art such as these should remain in our minds, no matter how long ago they were written.
Everyone can learn something from a poem, whether it be something small or large. It is my goal to share poetry through reading, and make more people aware of the power that poems hold in their depths. Many people have never experienced the wonderful emotions that come with reading or listening to a poem, and I hope to provide them with that experience. Perhaps, hearing a voice speak the written words will make them more available to the listener. Maybe, the words will be made to feel more real to the listener, as opposed to simple marks on a page. Emotion can be heard through voice, and though the language of a poem may be dated and difficult to understand, the emotions of the poem will be crystal clear to those who listen.
Whoever you may be, I hope you enjoy my poetry readings! Thanks for watching.

A very nice reading. However, I have concluded from over a decade of independent research, that Edgar Allan Poe wasn't the author. I believe it was written from real-life circumstances, in 1841, by Mathew Franklin Whittier, the younger brother of Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe, who never published in his lifetime (despite having a copy, given to him by Mathew in early 1842), would have re-written the last four lines so as to make the poem macabre.
@@ssake1_IAL_Research Thank you! How interesting! 😊What real-life circumstances lead you to believe that Mathew Franklin Whittier may have written the poem? Forgive me, for I am unfamiliar with his history.
@@poetryreadings Mathew lost his beloved wife, Abby, to consumption in late March of 1841. The circumstances described in the opening lines of the poem would have been literal, for him, in December of that year. She had taught him about life after death, and he had kept her books. He used to stay up late studying, and he had insomnia. He was probably reading one of her occult books about spirit contact after death. He had a bust of Pallas, which he later said looked someone like her. She had tutored him on ancient Greece, including the ancient Greek philosophers. He was literally reading one of her books about spirit visitation, at one and the same time hoping for it and fearing it. He heard something t the door, and for a minute, thought it might actually be her--but it was just a bird or a branch in the wind. At the point in the poem that the raven enters the room, it becomes metaphorical and symbolic. "Lenore" is a type, based on a German poem. It was not the name of the lost beloved. The original poem was signed "(blank) Quarles". It stood for "Abby Quarles," and it was a play on words. Abby loved the poet Francis Quarles, who was, like her, a deeply devoted Christian. She could out-debate anyone on religious subjects. So Mathew had nicknamed her "Abby Quarles." That's what the original pseudonym stood for. Poe had nothing to do with it, except to scoop Mathew's poem by three days, pretending it was his. There is much more, but this will give you an idea. I am the first person who has ever delved deep into Mathew's personal history. It took me 15 years, working from primary sources. The point is that this poem was not written in imagination, and it was not a horror poem. It was a grief poem, about an esoteric Christian's faith crisis.
@@ssake1_IAL_Research Wow! You have done your research. What an intriguing idea. Do other scholars agree with your hypothesis? It would be a shame, if such a thing were true, for Mathew not to get the credit he deserves. Have there been any attempts to further research this idea?
Bravo, very good ❤❤❤

What is this poem about?
The poet lists his sins, worrying that God couldn’t forgive him for them, only to realize that thinking God has not forgiven him is the silliest sin of all. The poet realizes that he was wrong to think that God could not forgive him, for God already forgave all his sins when Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose three days later. Happy Easter! 😊
Your voice is so soft and calming, and I really like the background music. Thank you for the beautiful work :)
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say! I always try to match the music I find to the words of the poem so that the listener/reader can really understand it better. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This is a beautiful poem by Kipling! I’d never hear it. Thanks!
