From 1835, Edgar Allan Poe was working as a literary critic for The Southern Literary Messenger.
Poe's magazine was to be called Penn Magazine (Poe was working in Philadelphia at the time) and then it was changed to The Stylus. Poe issued a prospectus for it in 1840, but never was able to raise sufficient capital to publish even one issue so the magazine never came to fruition.
The Southern Literary Messenger was not "Poe's magazine." It belonged to Thomas W. White. Poe left it in 1837.
