Tribute To Venice Poet Laureate Philomene Long

December 7

The passing of poet and teacher Philomene Long last August was a sudden shock to her many friends and admirers. While a tribute ceremony was hastily organized at that time, this evening at Beyond Baroque has been set aside for a full appreciation of the life and work of Philomene Long. Family, friends, and colleagues, among them some of Los Angeles’ finest poets, writers, artists, and actors, will read from her works and remember the Queen of Bohemia. 7:30pm, $5-$7, Beyond Baroque, 681 Venice Blvd., Venice, 310.822.3006.
