* Poe published under different names: He used pseudonyms like "Edgar A. Perry" and "Henri Le Rennier" for some works.
* Early publications were sometimes anonymous: His earliest poems may have been published anonymously, making it hard to attribute them to him later.
* Posthumous publications: Many of Poe's poems were published after his death, making it difficult to determine what he considered "finished" works.
However, we can estimate that Poe published around 100 poems during his lifetime, and many more were published posthumously.
