It’s fitting that Edgar Allan Poe’s birthday should be celebrated with an exhibition featuring a lock of the writer’s hair and a chunk of his coffin.

The exhibit Edgar Allan Poe: More Than A Poet, will open at the Enoch Pratt Central Library on Jan. 20 and will also display some of Poe’s handwritten letters to family and friends. “It’s a great way to get inside Poe’s head during his time, to see more of his human aspect,” said Roswell Encina, director of communications at the Pratt.
