"Poe"-etic Genius

Some people say that Edgar Allen Poe was an insane writer, but is that really fair? Poe went through a lot of hard times in his life, and writing could have been his escape to let out some of his deep emotional feelings out on paper. People have been debating over Poe being mentally disturbed for awhile now but, in my opinion he was just a man terrified of death and he showed it in his work. We live in a world full of criticism and fast judgment, even back then this was the case too, people take first glance at something and they just judge it right away. If you ask me, people need to take the time to dig into literature more these days and really think about what they're reading, instead of just making fast judgments. Poe was a true genius.
