In \u003ci\u003eFallen Angel\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed novelist and poet Robert Morgan offers a new biography of this gifted, complicated author. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on Poe's personal relationships, Morgan chronicles how several women influenced his life and art. Eliza Poe, his mother, died before he turned three, but she haunted him ever after. The loss of Elmira Royster Shelton, his first and last love, devastated him and inspired much of his poetry. Morgan shows that Poe, known for his gothic and supernatural writing, was also a poet of the natural world who helped invent the detective story, science fiction, analytical criticism, and symbolist aesthetics. Though he died at age forty, Poe left behind works of great originality and vision that \u003ci\u003eFallen Angel\u003c\/i\u003e explores with depth and feeling.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Morgan\u003c\/b\u003e has published more than twenty-five books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, including the bestselling \u003ci\u003eBoone: A Biography\u003c\/i\u003e.
