the poe piece that stood out to us the most was actually the final composition ever published in his career--a poem called 'annabel lee.' some believe that his wife, virginia eliza clemm poe, inspired it but that has never been verified. the key point that we found interesting in 'annabel lee' was its theme. it explores the death of a beautiful woman and follows the thoughts of a narrator who retains his love for her even after her death. we decided that this theme would be the basis for the emptiness. we were going to tell our own horrific love story. we showed our love, respect and thanks to poe by naming our female lead character annabel, and the ninth song in the story 'in her tomb by the sounding sea,' was the final line published in the famed career of poe."

poe was inspired at least in part by flavius josephus's "history of the jewish wars", a first-century account of the biblical city of gomorrah. the poem also bears a resemblance to lucretius's classical poem "de rerum natura" and, specifically, an english translation by john mason good. thirty-five of eighty-five consecutive lines parallel the work. poe's last version of the poem may also reference edmund spenser's "the faerie queene" with the term "proud tower". the mood and style of the poem also seem to echo "kubla khan", a poem by samuel taylor coleridge, known to be a heavy influence on poe's poetry.
