Anne “Annie” Decatur Danielewski (born March 23, 1968), professionally known as Poe, is an American singer and songwriter. She first hit the modern rock charts in the mid-1990s. Poe is the daughter of Polish film director Tad Danielewski and his second wife, Priscilla Machold. She is the sister of author Mark Z. Danielewski.
Poe’s musical style is a blend of folk, rock and electronica elements backing intimate lyrical compositions. Poe was signed to Atlantic Records from 1995–2001. She is currently on her label RePoezessed Records.
Poe grew up in Provo, Utah, where her father was a professor at Brigham Young University. She eventually began pursuing her undergraduate studies at Princeton University where she organized her first band. Her first album, Hello, was released in 1995. Her debut single, “Angry Johnny,” got much radio and MTV airplay.
Occupied by extensive small club tours, she was unable to produce a second album until 2000’s Haunted. Poe included her late father on Haunted after discovering cassette tapes containing his voice. But listening to them the first time proved so difficult that she was hesitant to use them in her music. “I took these tapes home and I couldn’t listen to them,” Poe explains. “It was too hard, so I kept finding ways to avoid it. They were sitting on my coffee table next to a boombox.”[1] The album also dovetails with themes and concepts from her brother Mark’s postmodern novel House of Leaves; the CD and the book were released simultaneously. Poe and Mark toured together across America at Borders Books and Music locations in support of the album and the novel.
