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.â€
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.
