Albergotti's poems go public

One of Dan Albergotti's poems, “Weapons Discharge Report,” is being reprinted in the prestigious "Best American Poetry 2017," which comes out Sept. 5. "It’s a very atypical poem for me," said Albergotti.

At the end of October, he will take part in a reading with a number of other contributors to this year’s edition of the anthology at The New School in New York:

Also, his poem "Things to do in the belly of a whale" has been selected by Wall Poems in Charlotte as part of a public art project, and it has been painted on the side of an old Goodyear building at 516 N. College Street that will be demolished within the next several months. Curiously, the painting is of an octopus instead of a whale. "But it still looks great," said the poet/professor.
