Ren (Alexandra Reynolds) owns a neighborhood bar in Baltimore. One evening, Edgar Allan Poe
stumbles in—not an early Halloween reveler in costume, but the real thing. In the course of
their acquaintance, both Ren and Poe learn more about themselves. Did I mention that Ren is
descended from a freed slave mother and a white slave-owning father? And that Poe was an
anti-abolitionist?

hidden it there the night I met him again, so many, many years before.
