On Tuesday evening we held our 5th annual poetry celebration reception, with as always, a fantastic speaker. This year's speaker was Edgar Allan Poe. At the end of the reception, during the refreshments, many who attended asked to have their picture taken with Poe, and/or for his autograph on their poetry award certificate.
