In addition to a historic day for Massachusetts (either because we elect our first female senator or our first centerfold senator), today is a historic day for literature: It's Edgar Allan Poe's 201st birthday. Most often associated with his adopted city of Baltimore, Poe was actually born here, and published his first book of poems here as well. Happy b-day, Mr. P. To celebrate, visit the Poe exhibit at the BPL.

There are no actual author events this week that we could find, but Garrison freakin' Keillor is here Monday, the Harvard Book Store's Philosophy Cafe gets together Wednesday, and a new Poe exhibit opens at the BPL on Thursday. And that's it for 2009, it seems. Congratulations, Christmas, for derailing everything! We hope you all get the books (or ebooks) you wanted this year.
