Illustration for " Al Aaraaf " by W. Heath Robinson

" Al Aaraaf " is an early poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1829.

It is based on stories from the Qur ' an, and tells of the afterlife in a place called Al Aaraaf.

" Al Aaraaf ", which Poe claimed to have written before he was 15, was first published as the major poem in Poe's 1829 collection Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems.

The book and " Al Aaraaf " in particular received mostly negative reviews for its complexity, obscure references, and odd structure.

Some, however, noted the potential in the young poet, including John C. Neal, to whom Poe had shown " Al Aaraaf " prior to publication.

Nevertheless, the negative response to " Al Aaraaf " may have inspired Poe's later poetic theory that poems should be kept short.

Years later, in 1845, Poe used " Al Aaraaf " to hoax members of the Boston literary circle during a reading.

The discovery was an inspiration for " Al Aaraaf ".

" Al Aaraaf " is the longest poem Poe wrote and was inspired by Tycho Brahe's discovery of a supernova back in 1572 which was visible for about seventeen months.

Poe identified this nova with Al Aaraaf, a star that was the place between paradise and hell.

Two souls, however, fail to respond: the " maiden-angel " Ianthe and her " seraph-lover " Angelo ( Michelangelo ), who describes his death on earth and the flight of his spirit to Al Aaraaf.

" Al Aaraaf " is thick with allusions and, because of this, is often avoided by scholars because, as writer Arthur Hobson Quinn notes, it can be " unintelligible ".

" Al Aaraaf " mixes historical facts, religious mythology and elements of Poe's imagination.
