About the book: From Albany Park is a collection of poems written over many years, covering different periods of life. The poems confront memories, trying to make sense of them, while also acknowledging the present, in all it’s joy and uncertainty.
Growing up in a northside neighborhood know as Albany Park, Joseph believed in language, and he offered creative ways to educate in understanding the power of this gift.
His love of language was evident in his commitment to helping make the world a more inhabitable place. Where all men and women are offered an education, humane working conditions, fair pay and the opportunity for higher education.
