Background

• Poe was born and raised in London and grew up in a cramped but loving household with his parents. His father was the calm center of the family and encouraged Poe’s artistic interests, love of poetry, and fascination with strange folklore. When Poe was fifteen, Edgar passed away unexpectedly, leaving Poe feeling like the foundation beneath him had been ripped away. After years of financial strain and grief, Poe’s mother moved the family to the United States to live with her boyfriend. Poe struggled deeply with the move at first. He missed London terribly, clung to his accent like a lifeline to home, and felt responsible for helping raise his younger siblings while his mother worked long hours rebuilding their lives. Eventually, Poe found comfort working at The Cozy Corner, where the warm atmosphere and eccentric staff helped pull him out of his shell. The café became the first place in America that truly felt like home.
