Lucia Blinn is storyteller/poet who writes of things you know then surprises you into knowing them more deeply. Suddenly, what’s funny or sad, annoying or powerful, feels fresh and newly observed.
Her stories have the rhythms of natural speech and thought patterns of a quick-thinking mind.
Lucia’s poems have been described as “razor-cut slices of the human condition bow-tied with a smiling lagniappe that clears the palate like a shot of gin.”
Her 6th and most recent book, is Sonoma.
