Edgar Allan Poe Monument

The Edgar Allan Poe Monument by Moses Jacob Ezekiel is a bronze statue commissioned in 1911 by the Edgar Allan Poe Memorial Association of Baltimore. It was Ezekiel's final work before his death in 1917. The statue depicts Poe with his left hand raised, as if listening to ethereal music, symbolizing his connection to the literary world. It was installed in Wyman Park in 1921 and later moved to the University of Baltimore's Gordon Plaza.
