How about Gary William Crawford?\n\nHe's American (although from the South, rather than New England) and he writes dark (maybe even Gothic) poetry and short fiction.

He has certainly written a lot of poems that are timeless - we still read them and study them.  His poems are much easier to understand and appreciate than the work of some other poets of his day.   I like the rhythm of his poetry and the strong feelings he often expresses.  In many of his poems he is remembering past times, a bit of nostalgia that we all like to do from time to time, though most of us cannot express it as beautifully as he could.  Some of  my favorites are The Solitary Reaper and I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud and Upon Westminster Bridge.

OMG. This is hilarious. I am doing Annabel Lee in my Literature class right now! Okay so, it is about Edgar Allen Poe and his love for his 13-year old cousin who he married. She died an early death of Tuberculosis, and in the poem, Poe says that the angels were jealous of his loving relationship with Annabel Lee ( in real life, her name was Virginia) and so they were the ones who envied Annabel Lee's love with Edgar Allen Poe, so they took her from him. Poe died two years after Annabel Lee died.

To me it seems Poe can write stories that can really scare you without the use of the gore and graphics that King does... Dont get me wrong, I like King and his style of writing but I beleive that Poe can do something that few writers today can do or understand.... Gore and Graphics can make a story scary but it is no substitute for the the abilites that Poe has

You can find your answers in the next few paragraphs.\n\nEdgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents who were itinerant actors. His father David Poe Jr. died probably in 1810 and his mother Elizabeth Hopkins Poe in 1811. Edgar was taken into the home of a Richmond merchant John Allan and brought up partly in England (1815-20), where he attended Manor School at Stoke Newington. Never legally adopted, Poe took Allan's name for his middle name. \n\nPoe attended the University of Virginia (1826), but was expelled for not paying his gambling debts. This led to a quarrel with Allan, who later disowned him. In 1827 Poe joined the U.S. Army as a common soldier under assumed name and age. In 1830 Poe entered West Point and was dishonorably discharged next year, for intentional neglect of his duties.\n\nLittle is known about his life in this time, but in 1833 he lived in Baltimore with his father's sister. After winning a prize of $50 for the short story "MS Found in a Bottle," he started a career as a staff member of various magazines, among others the Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond (1835-37), Burton's Gentleman's Magazine in Philadelphia (1839-40), and Graham's Magazine (1842-43). During these years he wrote some of his best-known stories. \n\nIn 1836 Poe married his 13-year-old cousin Virginia Clemm. She burst a blood vessel in 1842, and remained a virtual invalid until her death from tuberculosis five years later. After the death of his wife, Poe began to lose his struggle with drinking and drugs. He addressed the famous poem "Annabel Lee" (1849) to her.

Dude I love Francesca Lia Block. I never knew anyone else did. Her writing style is so beautiful and enrapturing. Her words make me want to cry sometimes. I loved Rose and The Beast: Fairy Tales Retold. My favorite retelling was probably of Sleeping Beauty (story name Charm) How she was addicted to heroin so in a sense she was asleep. She combines fantasy with the harsh realities of life and makes it seem a little bit easier to deal with. I LOVE FLB!

http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/Similie This is pretty straightforward.\n\nCheck out T.S. Eliot. http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html has some of his work.  My favorite is in the first stanza of "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock."

If your looking for an epic poem, try Evangeline. It was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about a maiden and a search for her lover. It's based upon the expulsion of Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755. The poem is long, but I highly recommend it.

Well, Edgar Allen Poe's job is safe.... but I totally understand the point and sentiment.  I've grown weary of liberals  bemoaning our "cruelty" in Iraq and our "unconstitutional" treatment of playing loud music to people who are not even citizens(and enemies at that-- who major news media will NOT show disemboweling and beheading Americans), while ignoring torture chanmbers and mass graves of  the Iraqi dictator.\n\nSo, I'll pardon the poetry and give you a thumbs up.
