September.<\/p>\n

Outside smells like football, the evenings and mornings are chillier. Now that I’m back at school, albeit online classes, Autumn seems even richer to me.<\/p>\n

So I found a picture of a statue near Emerson College where I am in the beginning throws of my MFA program. It’s a statue of Edgar Allen Poe:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Quote the Raven, “Occasionally.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can read about the statue and of Poe’s opinions on Boston over at this Boston Magazine<\/a> article. My theory is that he was a Yankee fan.<\/p>\n

(BEFORE I get the e-mails, YES I know Poe died 63 years before the Highlanders became the New York Yankees in 1913. It was a joke, son.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, the telltale poet’s statue<\/strong> and the month of September<\/strong>\u00a0are the dueling prompts this time around. Our #Irregulars<\/strong> should be all over this one!<\/p>\n
