Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore - Works - Essays - The Poetic Principle (Text-D) Last Update: Feb. 27, 2010  Navigation: The Works of the Late Edgar Allan Poe speaking of the Poetic Principle, I have no design to be either thorough or profound. While discussing, very much at random, the essentiality of what we call Poetry, my principal purpose will be to cite for consideration, some few of those minor English or American poems which best suit my own taste, or which, upon my own fancy, have left the most definite impression. By “minor poems†I mean, of course, poems of little length. And here, in the beginning, permit me to say a few words in regard to a somewhat peculiar principle, which, whether rightfully or wrongfully, has always had its influence in my own critical estimate of the poem. I hold that a long poem does not exist. I maintain that the phrase, “a long poem,†is simply a flat contradiction in terms.
