The material here collected therefore represents all the surviving prose and poetry by Poe's brother - now representing the collected Poems of William Henry Leonard Poe, together with a short account of his tragic life, an early romance of Edgar Allan Poe and some other unknown incidents in the lives of the two Poe brothers ... with a preface, introduction, comment and facsimiles of newly discovered Poe documents.A true must-have for any collector, critic, or reader of the works of Poe.
