Poe\, a rare\, unnamed manuscript of Poe’s was discovered in room 208 of the Hotel Greene. This discovery was made just days after the death of fellow writer Witold Krull.

During you visit\, snap a photo and tag us @poemuseum and @hotelgreene. \n\n\n\nSUBMISSION DUE DATE: October 31st 2025 at 11:59pm. \n\n\n\nCRITERIA & SUBMISSION:  \n\n\n\n\nThis contest is open to 18+ writers\n\n\n\nSubmissions must follow the prompt and must be an original work.
