Poe-Pourri: Raven Read Out #4
When the Raven was first published in 1845, it was the talk of the town. Poe became an overnight sensation. The poem was performed in parlors at home and in public theaters. Even Poe gave public readings to enthralled audiences. As we get nearer to the Raven Read-Out by local dramatist Kathy Morris on October 8 at All Things Art, we are sharing some of the many Raven renditions that are out there. Here is one that is a little different - 18 YouTubers performing a joint recitation of The Raven. If you can't see the video below try this link.
