Episode 206 of Celebrate. Poe is part two of Silent Snow, Secret Snow by Conrad Aiken. The story is an engaging story of a boy who lives in a world of his own - somewhat similar to many of Poe’s characters. I must admit that at first I thought the story might be Christmas (or at least winter) themed, but the story gradually builds up to show the hidden world of a very troubled youth. The episode ends with a brief discussion of anaphora in Aiken's works, as well as the use of anaphora by Poe.
