workaround found
That was pretty good detective work, phossler, but that edition was not the same one I used.
I was using the "Raven Edition" of Poe's collected works, and even in the "view online," HTML edition, that one has italicized poems.
Nonetheless, your suggestion was good. I am not sure at what stage this happened, but in my earlier conversions of this book--the download breaks it into five separate books that I then re-united into one, using "epub merge"--I had one version of the poems volume without italics. (I wish I knew what made that happen.) So I captured that chapter file and substituted it in the compiled version.
The other suggestion to find the italics code is more germane long-term, and I appreciate that.
