Edgar Allan Poe
	Edgar Allan Poe is considered the most innovative Writer that America ever produced. He created the genres of Horror and Mystery. Interestingly, he had an argumentative personality and he was prone to get drunk, argue about the politics of the day and get into fights. He was often fired from his Newspaper/Magazine Editorial jobs. His poetry is criticized for being to rythmy; however, it shows the genius he really is.
