Poe Jam


Loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's poem, 'The Conqueror Worm.'  "The poem seems to imply that human life is mad folly ending in hideous death, the universe is controlled by dark forces man cannot understand, and the only supernatural forces that might help are powerless spectators who can only affirm the tragedy of the scene."
