description: �Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary…� �from �The Raven�, by Edgar Allan Poe  In 1845, Edgar Allen Poe published �The Raven,� was embraced by the New York literati, founded his own magazine, and allegedly began an affair with Frances �Fanny� Sargent Osgood. By the end of the year, Poe would leave New York City a ruined man, deeply in debt, and a virtual outcast spurned by a circle that included Horace Greeley, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In Poe &amp; Fanny, John May envisions the love affair using their own flirtatious poetry as inspiration  A richly imagined debut novel, Poe &amp; Fanny, brings New York�s giddy pre-Civil War social scene into brilliant focus as it explores the tragic life and loves of one of America�s great literary figures.
