Poem: The Raven

On January 29, 1845, Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven" was first published in the New York Evening Mirror. Try reading it out loud - or watch actor Vincent Price - to hear the creepy, scary rhythms.

Poetry is a good way to practice pronunciation (if the poem rhymes) and the rhythm of the spoken language.
