Start with some strong, bold, arresting statement of your own about Poe. Not a statement of fact and definitely not a quotation. Even if what you say is more than you can prove, you can qualify the statement in the rest of your first paragraph. So for example:
"Poe was perhaps the greatest of the American Romantics but had perhaps the least distinctly American voice."

I agree with the Tell Tale Heart opening...but the Raven's opening is a bit more known to people.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."

The first line of his "Tell Tale Heart."
TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?
