Some of them have to do with things in his life. In "The Raven" the narrator speaks of his lost Lenore. Poe's wife died. They are little things in the story but most he can relate to. Although, he always leaves the narrator unnamed. The narrator is never described either.

Additional information:

People often get the mistaken impression that Lenore in The Raven is his wife, Virginia. This is not so because Poe wrote The Raven in 1845 and Virginia did not die until 1847. How could Poe write about a deceased wife when his wife wasn't yet deceased?
