Edgar Allan Poe's statue in Boston, Massachusetts, is a sight to behold. Commissioned by sisters Pat and Priscilla, the statue was created by American sculptor Stefanie Rocknak. Located at Edgar Allan Poe Square, at the intersection of Boylston and Charles Streets, the statue depicts Poe walking, accompanied by an oversized raven. His suitcase has fallen open, revealing a 'paper trail' of literary works embedded in the sidewalk behind him. The statue's official unveiling took place on October 5th, 2014, attended by former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky.
