I wrote a guest column for the online version of the Concord Magazine, which they published yesterday. 2009 might be the year of Poe, but 2010 will be the year of Margaret Fuller! View the article here: Margaret Fuller: The Measure of Her Footprint.
You'll note, of course, that even though the article is on Margaret Fuller, I found a way to mention Poe.

Rob on Poe
I wrote a special guest blog for the (very well-done) Read Street Blog at the Baltimore Sun about Poe's continuing legacy. Take a look and let me know what you think. This week has been and will continue to be full of guest writers on behalf of Poe's 200th birthday. I'm in some very good company, including a Pulitzer Prize-winner and several published mystery novelists.
Of course, Poe's legacy is international! I was also interviewed for "Sunday Breakfast" with Jose Barbosa on New Zealand's radio 95bFM. The whole podcast of the interview is here along with other chapters in their spotlight on Poe. I discuss Poe's diversity as a writer with a special emphasis on his criticism and the barely-known novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.

Keep a date with Poe
The Poe Calendar is making the rounds in the press now! From the front page of the Daily News Tribune (Boston area) today:
Keep a date with Poe
WALTHAM — There was much more to Edgar Allan Poe than the macabre masterpieces he’s most known for, said Waltham resident Rob Velella.
Velella, a Poe aficionado, has tried to capture the poet’s many dimensions through a daily desk calendar he created in celebration of Poe’s 200th birthday, which is Jan. 19.
