I'm actually memorizing The Raven. I just got through the first paragraph (verse? whatever the hell they call it) tonight, just started like 4 or 5 days ago. I'm gunna be the toast of all the parties once I get it all memorized 😀.....
Cause that's what chicks like, right? 😳 Poe? Meh?...

yes i memorized it as well. took me a week. i would sing it at work at the end of the shift while i worked (nobody else was around) just like singing a favorite song while you work right?

i would repeat a verse over and over and then start from the beginning over and over until i had it down then to the next verse.
Edit: Do you have the Complete Works of Poe? It's every poem/story he's written. It's really been an amazing read for me for the last couple years, going back to my favorite poems, favorite stories, etc etc. It's really great.

There's a good archive of poetry to download at http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/
www.ubu.com used to have great stuff but the project was wound up a month or two ago....
I'd be interested to know if anyone knows of any other sites with downloadable spoken word material (poems, stories...). Anything that you really like.
