Not to be missed by Ian Rowland

After years of hearing about it, seeing references to it in films, books and media, I've finally read it. My complaint, I waited to long! This is an evocative, heart stirring poem dealing with grief and loss. The use of the raven's voice that seems to utter the one word 'Nevermore' constantly reduces the human subject of the poem to greater and deeper levels of anguish and pain. The drawings by Dore, although dated in style, still capture the mood of the poem. Wonderfully strange, beautifully imaginative and heart breaking in its final verse. The only issue I have is with the dated and hard to read commentary at the end. All in all, a must to download.
