Edgar Allan Poe's relationship with the other writers of his era was not always very good because Poe was a literary critic who could be blunt and biting. Poe ridiculed the writing "establishment" community particularly those in Boston. Poe did maintain written communications with some of his contemporaries though, in general, he was respected but not embraced as an author.
