Poe House Presents: David Gaylin, August 11, 2019

A native of Baltimore City, David spent formative years in Fells Point and has remained in the Baltimore metro area since. His exposure to Edgar Poe was inaugurated by his grandmother, an avid reader of poetry, and who operated a business just below the hospital building where Poe died. David authored Edgar Allan Poe’s Baltimore for Arcadia Publishing. He is a member of the Maryland Historical Society, Poe Studies Association, and is currently serving as President of the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore.
