On the Life of Linda J. Albertano

From Trauma to High Art

Beschreibung

The work of award-winning poet, performance artist, actor, and musician Linda J. Albertano and her husband of 55 years, Frank Lutz, is collected in On the Life of Linda J. Albertano, including poetry, stories, and prose, as well as memorabilia from Linda's astounding performance career. Linda J. Albertano, award-winning poet and Poetry Diva of the City of Los Angeles, was an enchantress, musician, performance artist, actress, and filmmaker. As a child, she was reared in various unkindly foster homes. But this six-foot-four beauty with brains excelled and made her art speak for her. Frank Lutz was Linda's lover, husband, partner, and best friend for more than 55 years. While Frank was the quiet one of the pair, his experiences as an athlete, scholar, pilot, sailor, and European aficionado provided the kernel for much of his narrative poetry. Together they were creative scholastic gems.

Linda J. Albertano was a phenomenon from the 1960s to the 2020s. Reared as a child in various unkind foster homes in Denver, Colorado, she excelled as a student in high school and at the University of Colorado, and later at UCLA film school. She was a beauty with brains, and early on perfected her skills in Los Angeles. Her songs were recorded by Linda Ronstadt and Taj Mahal, et al., and her stagecraft on world tours by the American impresario Alice Cooper and troupe. She did solo performances in North America, Europe, and Africa. In Los Angeles, she was honored with the title of Poetry Diva. Linda performed in over 300 venues since the 1960s, including the Getty Center and the John Anson Ford Theatre in Los Angeles, the Long Beach Arena, the October Gallery in London, the One World Poetry Festival in Amsterdam, the summer Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and many others. She was commissioned by Santa Monica, CA, Long Beach Harbor, CA, and other cities to do public performances and environmental studies in poetic forms. Media reviews of her performances were always glowing with appreciative praise. Sadly, this majestic icon, who by many was an "eternal" lover of humanity and art, passed away on September 13, 2022. It was left to her loving husband, Frank Lutz, to put together her archives and poetry of almost sixty years for the public to see and cherish. So welcome, Dear Reader, to the art and soul of our dear Linda Albertano. Read the poetic words of this fine wordsmith. Poet and Performance Artist, musician, filmmaker, brilliant with ideas, florid with emotion, and truth-teller with her unique picture of relations between the sexes, and events in the world at large! See for yourself, and you will never forget her. The way this lady of poetry writes will set your mind on fire with emotion and ideas. If you want to see how a master mixes words, it's all here for you in these three volumes.
