I dig the heart pupil concept, the contrast and the texture! The raven looks a little dazed and lovestruck though with the heart in his eye and his head tilted skyward. I don't know Poe very well but my impression has always been he was a melancholy fellow. The raven came to him when he was in deep grief and didn't bring any hope, so maybe if you flipped it so he's coming in from the top and looking down? It would read more like oppressive and suffocating grief (which is exactly what you want in art, right?! Ha!)
