By Some Happenstance

Dominic Albanese's poetry is a unique voice in American letters. Dubbed the spartan, colloquial poet of a generation, Albanese's work reflects upon everything from experiences in war to addiction to car mechanics, the beauty of a morning view, the joy of a bicycle to the heartaches and joy of a relationship. He is a master of of voice - each of these poems is heard as you read, a voice that sounds so familiar you'd swear Dominic is sitting next to you.
