Pet Monologues

Trash bag polar bears that inflate and then deflate with the passing of subterranean subway trains. The artist, Joshua Allen Harris has not commented that this is a global warming statement, but that’s what many conclude. They do clutter up the street a bit. Fun concept!

When PM discovered this image there was no doubt this post would acknowledge Friday’s Ark.

If you look at our Top Commentors list you will notice “Modulator” at the top. The ranking in this case represents both Modulator’s and Pet Monologues collaborations each and every Friday when possible. Interestingly, especially with post, one never knows when a submission will be accepted on Friday’s Art.

Poet and Storyteller

Navigating the Night. More Poems and Stories—published 2005 (available for purchase)
CD—Sounds Like Lucia—produced 2007 (available for purchase)

Back to Creation. Free performance. Who was Harvey Crane. Washed up.

Lucia Blinn’s poems have been described as savvy, wry, truth-telling, hilarious, and, occasionally, rueful. Her stories are a rich stew of characters and images that stirs the reader’s or listener’s own remembering.
A quote on her first book: “Lucia writes of things you know then shocks you into really knowing them for the first time. Suddenly, what’s funny or sad, or annoying or powerful, feels fresh and newly observed.”

Her program runs 30-60 minutes, and books are available for signing.

In a previous career, Lucia was a creative director for advertising agencies in Chicago and New York.

WBEZ/Writers’ Block Party/returning guest
Brandeis Book & Author guest/Sarasota 2007
