Poe Returning to Boston is a statue of American author Edgar Allan Poe in Boston, Massachusetts. It was created by the American sculptor Stefanie Rocknak.[1] The statue is located at the corner of Boylston and Charles streets at Edgar Allan Poe Square.[2]

The statue depicts Poe walking, facing away from the Boston Common. His figure is accompanied by an oversized flying raven; his suitcase lid has fallen open, leaving a "paper trail" of literary works embedded in the sidewalk behind him.[3][4][5][2] The public unveiling on October 5, 2014, was attended by former United States Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky.[6]
