Have you ever wondered why some love stories never die, even when the lovers do?
Annabel Lee is Edgar Allan Poe's haunting and immortal elegy to love-a lyrical journey through memory, grief, and longing set in a dreamlike kingdom by the sea. This modern presentation of Poe's classic poem explores the intensity of romantic devotion that defies the finality of death and the limitations of time.
Through hypnotic rhythm and vivid imagery, Poe weaves the tale of a love so powerful it draws the wrath of heavenly beings and the envy of fate itself. Though the beautiful Annabel Lee has died, the narrator's love for her endures, sustained by moonlight, ocean tides, and an unshakable emotional bond that death itself cannot sever.
This edition presents the poem in an elegant, accessible format alongside a brief contextual reflection on its meaning and place within Poe's larger body of work. Whether you're new to Poe or revisiting an old favorite, Annabel Lee offers a poetic experience that is both intimate and eternal.
