Read Edgar Allan Poe With Me in October! | Poetober 2024
My official announcement of Poetober, a month-long event reading poems and short stories from Edgar Allan Poe, as well as the return of Nietzsche November, where I share an in-depth discussion on the works of Friedrich Nietzsche.
I'd love for you all to join me on both of these events or even co-host Poetober (a name so unforgettable that I misspoke it twice lol). All of the works can be found for free on Project Gutenberg or this is your notice to pick up a copy before the month begins.
Comment below if you'll be joining in or a favorite work from Poe!
