I think kids will relate to Annie's connection with the poem "Annabel Lee."

I loved how she described her creative process in the first answer and how in the novel Annie's connection with "Annabel Lee" makes her see her name as beautiful for the first time.

My favorite is his poem, "Alone," which was set to music by folk artist Ted Jacobs.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-3661292425477272992009-09-18T15:54:43.334-04:002009-09-18T15:54:43.334-04:00Enjoyed this interview and now really want to read...Enjoyed this interview and now really want to read Edie's book. "Annabel Lee" has always been a favorite. My dad, now 93, has it memorized, and I remember him reciting it when I was little.<br /><br />My guess is Edie is probably related to Ernest. :Djamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-10847620906380459382009-09-18T14:20:34.448-04:002009-09-18T14:20:34.448-04:00Congrats, Edie!
