Linda Ravenswood's newest poetry collectionThe Stan Poems: Indictments & Amendments,(Pedestrian Press, 2022) is "part eulogy, part elegy, and part ode," says poet Bernadette McComish. A masterful and pioneering double volume of poetic thunder that explores ways in which we're bound to each other in life and beyond time and space. Former L.A. Poet Laureate Luis J. Rodríguez praised Linda's poetry as she "paints with words that move minds, hearts, and mountains. She's a true poet in a true poet's constellation."
In celebration of this achievement, she will be joined by poets, musicians, and friends, including readings by Mike Sonksen, Cassandra Dallet, Allison Hedge Coke, Natasha Dennerstein, Cassandra Rockwood Ghanem, Bernadette McComish, Colleen McKee, and Rick Lupert. Since 2012, Linda has partnered with Beyond Baroque in curating readings and producing community performances. This event is anticipated to be a community party of literature, love, reclamation, reemergence, and joy. Following the readings, there will be an outdoor reception with refreshments provided.
