I have to agree with Gustave Doré the Raven is a perfect poem. A strike of genius. However, Doré‘s input was a drag to get through to say the least.
I’ve never had so much fun reading a poem over and over. The poem is five stars, the books and it’s exposition is a three. Only because all the tidbits of revisions and publications of the poem were fun to follow.

This is my first Edgar Alan Poe poem and I have to say I enjoyed it. It is so dark and mysterious, yet beautifully haunting and a delicate depiction of grief and decent into madness. I am not very good at analysing poetry, but I really was able to appreciate this poem and really liked Poe's style.
I also read the illustrated version by Ryan Price, and these illustrations fit the poem so well and really heightened my experience of reading this piece.
