What was the name of the periodical that first published 'The Raven' in January 1845?

The periodical that first published “The Raven” in January 1845 was The Evening Mirror.

The New York Evening Mirror printed the poem on January 29, 1845, as an advance copy and attributed it to Edgar Allan Poe. Editor Nathaniel Parker Willis introduced the poem with enthusiastic praise, helping bring Poe and his work to a broad popular audience.

The publication history can cause confusion because The American Review printed “The Raven” soon afterward in its February 1845 issue, using Poe’s pseudonym “Quarles.” Poe had first shown an earlier version to George Rex Graham of Graham’s Magazine, but Graham declined to publish it and reportedly gave Poe $15 instead. The Broadway Journal also printed the poem later in 1845.

“The Raven” quickly became Poe’s most famous poem during his lifetime. Its musical repetition, supernatural mood, internal rhymes, and the raven’s refrain of “Nevermore” made it widely reprinted and parodied, although the poem brought Poe much more fame than money.
