Each time your eye moves a different direction the words tell a different version of the tale! The main body of this piece is from a vintage Smithsonian Magazine snippet about Poe, a color scan of a very old funeral photograph, with a touch of a Van Gogh painting (magazine cut-out of course, can't afford to cut up the real thing you know). The background is a crinkled gold paper and it's filled with text about Poe -- perfect for a poet! It's about love, desire and self torment.
