Help carry Poe's poem into new languages, scripts, signals and voices. Translate it, transcribe a historical printing, read it aloud, or perform it on video.
For now, prepare your contribution here. Drafts are saved only in this browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded or published yet. Download a copy of anything you want to keep, and it will be ready to send when submissions open.

Recorded contribution
Voiceover or video

Approved editions are published with your credit, the language, the source and the license you chose, linked back to Poe's text.
Credit
Every edition keeps the credit or pseudonym you give, and lists collaborators you name.
The source
Poe's English is his own 1849 text, not a translation. Every edition links back to it.
