WordStage Literary Concerts presents                                                                 "Poe And Fiends"                                             Tales and Poems of Mystery and the Macabre! “I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”  Edgar Allan Poe                                                                Edgar Allan Poe was best known to his own generation as an editor and critic. His poems and short stories commanded only a small audience. But to some extent in his poems, and to an impressive degree in his tales, he pioneered in opening up areas of human experience for artistic treatment at which his contemporaries only hinted. Readings of the macabre prose and poetry include works by Poe, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud,  H.P.Lovecraft, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Christina Rossetti,  Robert Frost, and Ray Bradbury. This spine-tingling compilation of phantasmagoric poetry and prose will be interpreted by members of the WordStage Company - Skip Corris, Marci Paolucci and Tim Tavcar and will be underscored and enhanced by eerie and atmospheric music, played by  the Lakewood Presbyterian Church’s resident organist, Michael Petrosh.
