Poe Cottage in the Bronx - built in 1812 was the last house that Edgar Allan Poe lived in. During the time that Poe lived here from 1846 to 1849 he wrote "Annabel Lee", "The Bells" and "Eureka". Poe lived with his wife Virginia and his mother-in-law Maria Clemm. Virginia was ill with tuberculosis and they hoped that the country air of the Bronx would aid in her recovery. She died in January of 1847. Poe died two years later under mysterious circumstances in Baltimore.

Yesterday there was a "In The Footsteps Of Edgar Allan Poe: A Walk From Poe Cottage To The Highbridge" tour. As much as possible we followed the likely route that Poe would have walked taking Aqueduct Avenue, the Aqueduct Walk, University Avenue and entered the Highbridge from the Bronx side into Manhattan. It was a gorgeous day for the walk which took about 3 hours.

Edgar Allan Poe lived in this small wooden farmhouse from 1846 to 1849 writing some of his most famous works "Annabel Lee", "The Bells" and "Eureka". Poe lived with his wife Virginia and his mother-in-law Maria Clemm. Virginia was ill and they hoped that the country air of the Bronx, a very rural area at the time, would aid in her recovery. She died of tuberculosis in January of 1847. Poe died two years later under mysterious circumstances in Baltimore.

From the website: " KaNSiteCurators + Caroline Mardok have created an interactive sculpture of multiple cut out figures made of plywood, applied with collage and photographs from Mardok’s @ny.strong photography project. As people walk through the portals they’re transported into the energy of the protests of 2020: the unified experience of citizens across ethnicities and genders fighting for freedom and justice for Black lives.

Installed in Poe Park, the Bronx - one of five sculpture installation, one installed in each of New York City's 5 Boroughs. The project utilized plywood that had covered storefronts during the Black Lives Matter Protests.
