As the world celebrates Saint Patrick’s Day—from Brazil to Baltimore, from Trafalgar Square to Boston Common—the day that originally was a Catholic Feast Day, but has now come to include the celebrations around the globe of all things Irish by the Irish Diaspora (and millions of “Irish-For-A-Day” folks!), we thought it a perfect time to celebrate Edgar Poe’s Irish heritage.
THE POE FAMILY COMES FROM IRELAND It begins, as far back as can be reliably traced, to Edgar’s great-great-grandfather David Poe in the town of Dring, County Cavan, Ireland, about 75 miles north of Dublin. (There are going to be a few “Davids” in our brief re-cap, so get your score cards ready!)
The podcast Moebanshee' Music Box on Dream Stream Radio is kicking off their 2015-2016 season with a special treat! They are broadcasting the PoeForevermore Radio Theater production of THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO starring John Astin and Mark Redfield in ten-minute segments over the next four weeks!
