In your view how does Poe's life apear in his works?

The most exposed examples of autobiography in Poe's works is the frequent allusions to the death of beautiful women (because his young wife died of tuberculosis). This is a recurring theme in his writings and was clearly an obsession of his. I direct you to tales like Eleonora and Ligeia, and poems such as Annabel Lee.
