Linda J. Albertano Book Launch
Join us for this momentous occasion as we celebrate 6 books at once, all on the life and legacy of the late Linda J. Albertano, a poet and legendary performance artist who worked closely with members of the Beyond Baroque community throughout her career until her passing in 2022.
Co-authored by Linda J. Albertano and her husband, Frank Lutz III, the four book collection—On The Life of Linda J. Albertano, It All Began with Cherry Soup, Two Souls Desperate to Connect, and Poetry Diva (Quiet Time Publishing)—will now include two new titles!
Readings and celebrations of Linda's poetic works will be given by Frank Lutz, alongside long-time friends of Linda, Venice, and Beyond Baroque, Suzanne Lummis, Laurel Ann Bogen, Susan Hayden, and S.A. Griffin. Stay for free drawings, refreshments, a video of Linda's life, and the opportunity to win a Linda J. Albertano book.
Doors Open: 1:30 PM | Readings: 2:00 PM
