The beginning of his career in writing didn't start off so great. Edgar Allan Poe began arguing with his dad, which in turn diminished the relationship between both of his fathers. But on the happy note of things, Poe published his first book, called "Tamerlane and Other Poems," which gained him some popularity. He had also joined the army around this time, and won a spot in 1830 at West Point, which was a local military academy, after he was discharged from the first military group he was in, which was Fortress Monroe. Prior to going to this academy though, he published his second collection of stories, called "Al Aaraaf, Tamberlane, and Minor Poems" in 1829. Although he was a very successful student at West Point, he was actually expelled from the school in February of 1831. Some experts even believe that he wanted to get expelled on purpose.
After getting expelled from West Point, he lived in Baltimore with his aunt, Maria Clemm, and her daughter, Virginia, whom he would soon marry in 1836. He also published a second edition of his book, which included an additional poem, called "To Helen." While Poe continued to work on his writing, he also began to work for a magazine, which went by the name "Southern Literary Messenger." John Allan, his un-biological had also died on March 27, 1834. While working for that magazine company, he developed a reputation as a harsh-judging critic, because he wrote MANY vicious reviews of others. He also published some of his own works in this magazine, gaining him some more popularity. He published two parts of his only novel, called "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym." Although this was not to last, his aggressive reviews causing him to lose the job in 1837, which was after he married his cousin, Virginia.
During the next two of his life, he moved to New York, and then to Philadelphia, where he actually published the whole novel of 'The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. "In June of 1839 he became the assistant editor of "Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine", and also published a scientific textbook called "The Conchologist's First Book."
All of these events led up to the publishing of his major and more widely known works, which can be found in the next tab.
