The Edgar Allan Poe Museum will be hosting its second annual Edgar Allan Poe Young Writers’ Conference June 19-26, 2005, - for high school students on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
The support and success of the first annual young writers’ conference, held in June 2004, inspired Dr. Harry L. Poe, President of the Poe Foundation and cpusin of Edgar Poe, to plan a second conference for this year. Last year’s conference included nine students from Virginia and Maryland, who spent a week meeting professional novelists, poets, playwrights, and journalists as well as developing their own work through workshops and lectures.
“Focus on Poe” lectures and events included a tour of Poe’s Richmond and a trip to see Poe’s dorm room at the University of Virginia. Not only did the students meet Poe’s cousin, but they also met Edgar Poe, as interpreted by Norman George, who discussed the creation of his solo stage play Poe Alone: The Last Appeal. The conference concluded with the students reading their own work by candlefight at a reception in the Poe Museum’s Enchanted Garden.
