His father left early in his life and his mother died when he was three years old. After his mom died, Poe went to live with John and Frances Allen (where he got his middle name).
         By age 13 Poe became very talented in literature, and had began to write poems. But his foster father, John disapproved, and wanted him to follow him in the family tobacco business.          Instead Poe went to the University of Virginia in 1826, and did well. But he didn't have enough money to cover tuition, so he turned to gambling. He ended up in debt but decided to enroll in West Point Military Academy. He did good academically, but was kicked out due to poor handling of his duties.]]> 2021-03-10 01:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonmaddock/80fnt9mn8nb6fbok/wish/1290584259 Poe's Work jacksonmaddock https://padlet.com/jacksonmaddock/80fnt9mn8nb6fbok/wish/1290584665 After he left West Point he published "Tamerlane and Other Poems" in Boston in 1827.
