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.

Very cool question. The "me" decade was the ten years from 1980 to 1989.\n\nThe 1980s is generally considered to be the transition between the industrial and information ages!\n\nThe video game console begins to outstrip the arcade game. The Rubik's cube, Cabbage Patch Kids, "Baby on Board" signs, and Trivial Pursuit fads capture the interest of the American public. Rubik's Cube Nerds are a popular subject. Alcohol education expands. Hair becomes big and poofy, or otherwise eccentric. Examples include the Mullet and the Flock of Seagulls cuts. Power Dressing was a major fashion statement of the decade. Musical genres popular during the 1980s include hip hop, old school rap, heavy metal music, twee pop, hair metal, New Wave music.\n\nCheck out the links below!

There are SO MANY examples, but I will give a few to get you started. If you are unfamiliar with these works just Google or Wikipedia the titles. Not all are allusions, some are just manifestations of the themes present in these literary works.\n\nI will start with the most obvious:\n\nPygmalion (the myth)\nPygmalion (the play by George Bernard Shaw)\n\nI not sure how old you are, but the more recent adaptations of the above works would be the movie She's All That and possibly Ice Princess?(entertainment).\n\nIn advertising, they are always trying to sell you a cosmetic product that will significantly transform you from the "ugly duckling" into the "beautiful swan" .\n\nShakespeare:\n\nRomeo and Juliet --- I am sure you can find the most recent example since West Side Story and Romeo Must Die (sigh).\n\nHenry IV: Parts I and II: \n(sorry I forgot to add Henry V as well)\n\nYou see the transformation of Prince Hal from a slacker to a noble leader (Henry V), when he ascends the monarchy and makes poignant adult decisions (such as executing one of his former slacker friends for treason when he is king)\n\nModern rendition (Entertainment): It is not that recent, but The Godfather II where Michael Corleone undergoes a similar transformation (albeit in a perverted way) as he becomes the next don of the mafia. He orders the mafia to kill his brother Fredo once he discovers that he betrayed his trust as well as a friend of the family (his character was played by Robert DuVall).\n\nThe Bluest Eye (Toni Morrison)\n\nThere are so many themes in this book, but the most poignant would be the self-esteem of Pecola Breedlove and the projections of images regarding color and class in her community.\n\nModern rendition (Advertising): From beauty and fitness magazines to the celebrity culture that saturate our society, we are subliminally conditioned to look a certain way in order to be desirable and loved.\n\nLike I said, so many examples. Most of the action flicks with a tormented character are versions of epic Greek and Roman poetry (Odyssey, Iliad, Aeneid).\n\nBusiness allusions are usually the vignettes and novels of Horatio Alger (i.e. rags to riches, pull yourself up by your bootstraps). \n\nMark Twain is another author whose works have been referenced, most notably in entertainment, The Prince and the Pauper and A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Once your read the plot summaries, then you know what I am talking about.\n\nBut as I stated, look through classic and modern literature of different time periods. Here some suggestions:\n\nGreek tragedies and epic poetry\nVictorian Age of British Literature (esp. Charles Dickens)\nRussian plays and novels (Chekov and Dostoevsky)\nPoems, short stories, and novels of the Harlem Renaissance (Hughes, McKay, Wright (esp. Native Son))\nFables (Aesop), "fairy tales" (Andersen, Grimm Brothers, etc.).\n\nHope that helps!! Good Luck!

I would say that betrayal and revenge are consistent in Poe's work.  I'm thinking of The Masque Of The Red Death, The Cask Of Amontillado, and The Tell-Tale Heart.\nDeath would be the issue.  Revenge being the cause.  In the Red Death, the revenge is quite ironic, as it is lower and middle class society exacting its revenge on the upper-class.  At least that's how I see it.

I would imagine it would have to be Shakespear. Even though I love other poets such as Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespears writtings have become more popular and widely distributed. I have no hard facts, but, I would imagine this to be true since so many allusions to his work come in so many movies and songs. Entire movies are made of his writtings. I could, however, be wrong since it is only my own mere speculation.
