RE: ADSactly Culture - The Life of Tortured Artists #4 (Edgar Allan Poe)

in #literature6 years ago

Like the previous characters, we find that Poe also had a difficult childhood. Added to this are his vices that were also making a hole in his personality, not to mention the death of his wife who ended up destroying him. The very fact of knowing that Poe was circling around his wife's grave, like a vulture, or like his famous crow, is a sign of the mental problem in which he was immersed. Reading this post I remembered the Uruguayan writer Horacio Quiroga, who also had a terrible life that marked all his work (I recommend it to you), and on the poetry side, a Venezuelan writer, José Antonio Ramos Sucre (I also recommend it to you), who not only had a life marked by health problems, but his work is proof of that cursed life. In the end, these two Latin writers decided to end their lives. A predictable ending in many artists! Thank you for this interesting series, @honeydue.

Yes, like with the others, although they all had fascinating minds, it's a bit frightening to imagine what it would be like being in their place, you know?

I hadn't heard of either but will definitely check them out!! They both sound interesting, thanks for the recommendation 😊
