Vincent - Hegel and Poe

                I ended up changing the topic of my research paper because I grew restless with it. I realized that I needed some kind of more literal communicative property and I could find that in words, so I turned to a poet. The only collection of poems I own in my house is this massive Edgar Allan Poe collected works because I always thought he was cool in this deranged unique way. And He’s from the East Coast. When I was studying him and deciding what theory it would be interesting to apply to him I was surprised to find much of his writings about the actual creative process and his philosophies on it.  Most importantly, Poe wrote exclusively for his audience and proclaimed very often that his aim was to make something beautiful in its ornate detail and artistry.
