The Mask of the Red Death by Harry Clark - 1919 (from a story of that title by Edgar Allan Poe) Edgar Allan Poe was born January 19, 1809 and Died, October 7, 1849.
2009 is Poe's 200th birthday anniversary. Celebrate this year with Ravens, Amontillado, and fair ladies named Lenore... The Editrix(i) of Starlit Tales takes this opportunity to challenge one and all to write a tribute to the man who has been call "the most famous American author who has ever lived". Your tribute will be published in future issues of Starlit Tales. You can submit it by email or a you-tube video. Entries may include: A poem or prose pastiche, a song or other composition, a short play or film, or a piece of art (any media - even a whole website). For very long works, we'll put a paragraph in the newsletter along with a URL. This site does not - yet- support audio files, but a URL to a audio file will work (such as an MP3 or .wav file on your website, My Space, or CD Baby site). Song lyrics will be added permanently to the TSCP songbook (with accompanying sheet music &/or tab), so everyone can see (and, sing) your brilliant creation. The Beste of the Lotte (by consensus of our readers) will be performed at a TSCP event, and the author will receive a bottle (probably not a whole cask) of the best Amontillado we can obtain at Trader Joe's. The Egar Allan Poe museum can be found here, http://www.poemuseum.org/poes_life/index.html, where you wil find much in the way of inspiration... |
