Legend Tripping with Lovecraft: Poe's Grave

Poe's grave circa 1930's.

"I've just been to the grave of Edgar Allan Poe, in Westminster Presbyterian Churchyard. It is at once a melancholy & inspiring spot - I feel like writing a verse about it!" [1]

Lovecraft concludes, "Am nearly broke, but have saved a side my fare home."
