Because of his drinking problem... I mean I was reading this biography about him and practically EVERY time something good was going for him... some good income... his wife, Virgina Poe, after she seemed to get better and Poe was trying to stop his drinking, would take a turn for the worse and Poe began drinkin again... THUS, Poe lost his job, or wasn't doing very well at it (once again) losing his job... I feel bad for the poor guy (no pun intended) and his wife.
