"The Raven in the Frog Pond: Edgar Allan Poe and the City of Boston," a new exhibit at the Boston Public Library, will open at 6 p.m. this Thursday, 17 December. At 7 p.m. that evening, the
Boston round of the
Great Poe Debate will kick off, featuring our good friend
Ed "Philly Poe Guy" Pettit, BC professor Paul Lewis (curator of the exhibit) and Jeff Jerome from the Poe House in Baltimore. It'll be moderated by Charlie Pierce.
Paul Lewis does a
pre-debate Q&A with Kathleen Burge in the
Boston Globe.
If you can't make it to the events on Thursday evening, the exhibit will run through 31 March 2010.
