This episode deals with 2 more chapters of The Home Life of Poe - Schoolboy Love Affairs and Rosalie Poe. Susan Archer Talley writes movingly about Poe’s first romantic attaction, its tragic conclusion, his sister Rosalie Poe, the strange effect of wine on both Edgar and Rosalie. Finally George looks into some of the dynamics of Deafness - why Susan Archer Talley’s deafness may have made her the ideal person to write a book about Poe, and how art starts in the heart (not the ear) and is meant to touch hearts.
