Well I highly disagree but I see why we do so. Poe considers himself a poet. Also he wrote stories only to make money. So I think anyone should read his poems before having a spherical opinion. Although i agree that his stories aren't written with perfection, like Chekhov does for example, you can see his brilliant self, how deep he goes with the human mind, what a clever man he is who examines everything-everyone and can truly understand them.. (correct me for any misunderstanding, i think my text has some errors!)
