Description:
The Edgar Allan Poe statue at the intersection of Boylston Street and Charles Street South in Boston depicts Poe in mid-stride, as if rushing down the street. Crafted by artist Stefanie Rocknak, the bronze statue shows Poe with an open briefcase, releasing falling bits of paper. A prominent feature is a giant raven bursting from his luggage, symbolizing his iconic poem "The Raven." Behind him, a heart representing "The Tell-Tale Heart" rests on a pile of books. This statue is located in the area known as "Edgar Allan Poe Square," near Boston's theater district, close to the site where Poe's house once stood.
