What is poe returning to boston?

Edgar Allan Poe returned to Boston several times during his life.

The first time he returned was in 1827 when he joined the United States Army and was stationed at Fort Independence in Boston Harbor. After being discharged from the Army, he stayed in Boston for a few more months before moving to Baltimore to live with his aunt.

In 1835, Poe returned to Boston and published his first book of poetry, "Tamerlane and Other Poems." This book received mixed reviews, and Poe struggled to make a living as a writer in Boston.

Poe returned to Boston again in 1845 to give a lecture on "The Poetic Principle" at the Boston Lyceum. This lecture was well-received and helped to establish Poe as a respected literary figure in Boston.

Finally, in 1847, Poe returned to Boston one last time to court his childhood sweetheart, Sarah Helen Whitman. However, the relationship quickly fell apart, and Poe left Boston soon after.

Overall, Poe's relationship with Boston was complicated, but his visits to the city played an important role in shaping his career as a writer.
