Free Verse: Edgar Allan Poe


Cara at Ooh...Books has started a new meme on Wednesdays called FreeVerse to introduce poetry to new and old readers in a variety of ways.

I took my cue from Cara today and decided to post a YouTube video in which Christopher Walken reads Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven.

Check it out, feel free to leave your impressions, and please do check out Cara's Edgar Allan Poe reading by one of my favorites Vincent Price.



Don't forget Virtual Poetry Circle on Saturdays, every week. Check it out, come participate--no pressure, really!!  :)

Christopher Walken is creepy all by himself. Him reading Poe, who also is creepy? I just can't do it. LOL
