PROVIDENCE – The event H.P. Lovecraft Rising, a gathering recognizing the life and literary contributions of Lovecraft, will be held at Swan Point Cemetery, 585 Blackstone Blvd., on Sunday, April 21, at 2 p.m.

The event will feature dramatic readings of the prose and poetry of H.P. Lovecraft as well as songs, and recitations of poems composed for the occasion.

Presenters will be Christian Henry Tobler, a historian who resides in Oxford, Conn., who will preside as master of ceremonies, and Carl L. Johnson, of North Providence. Johnson is a relation to H.P. Lovecraft through three family lines, according to a news release. He has been organizing annual public literary tributes recognizing the unique literary contributions of H. P. Lovecraft since the first graveside honorarium, conducted at the author’s grave site in Swan Point Cemetery on March 15, 1987.

Admission is free. Parking is available in the lot by Swan Point Cemetery Office and Chapel buildings, located near the Cemetery’s entrance.

For more information, contact Johnson at carcosan@live.com.

So it’s been and gone, but you may want to contact Johnson, since I’d imagine he’ll also be organising something to coincide with NecronomiCon 2024.
