About this episode
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 297 - Poe’s Bread and Circuses
Today I would like to begin by talking about the Coliseum itself before getting into other areas. The actual poem by Poe - The Coliseum - was one of his first poems - and might need a bit of background. And while I was doing research for this and future episodes regarding The Coliseum - I ran into several sources who said that they thought the poem was the best that Poe ever wrote. I did not think that much about the poem the first time I read it, but after I learned more, I can see why Poe’s poem The Coliseum has so many fans.
