http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe

This is just a great biography that explains all about the life of Edgar Allen Poe and how he came to be one of the worlds best poets.\

Over the course of the biography you discover all about the rough life that Edgar had. His parents passed away at an early age and he was alienated as a child. He was always different and kids always thought he was odd. The truth is, nobody really understood him or even bothered to. His dark childhood plays a key role in that dark and depressing aspect to his poems that we have come to love and expect from the poetic mastermind Edgar Allen Poe.

Thanks for identifying some key info we need to know about Poe, Steve.
