There was an interesting documentary with dramatic inserts about the loves of Edgar Alan Poe this evening. It is available to view on BBC i-player until 20:59, Sunday 12th June. The link is here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vfhhp/Edgar_Allan_Poe_Love_Death_and_Women/
The programme is presented very well by crime author Denise Mina. It examines Poe's relationships with key women in his life and how they may have influenced his writings. What is obviously poignant for me is my current work in progress for Grid#Productions, a stage adaptation of one of Poe's poems. You'll have to wait and see which one and in the meantime speculate as to which one (or more) of his women inspired the work.
