Edgar Allan Poe was one of the greatest lyric poets of the English language. But his early work as a writer went unrecognized, and he was forced to earn his living in the newspaper business, working as an editor in Richmond, Philadelphia, and New York.

Travis Campbell has been at this hockey thing for a while.

Eine ganz besondere Sammlung an Gedichten aus mehreren Jahrhunderten bis zur Gegenwart, bei denen das schönste der Gefühle im Mittelpunkt steht.

So gelingt eine magische und tief berührende Sicht auf die Liebe in all ihren Facetten.
