This volume was the first instance in which Poe published his verse under his own name as opposed to his first publication, Tamerlane and Other Poems, which was only attributed to “a Bostonian”.
Este de menționat faptul că acest volum a fost primul în care Poe a publicat versuri sub propriul nume spre deosebire de primul volum de vesuri care a fost atribuit doar „unui bostonian”.
