“Dan Albergotti’s [poetry] is filled with the spirit of mystery. It begins in wonder and ends in awe. Albergotti is a poet of deep conviction, a rare quality in our cynical times. He is a genuine seeker, a man on a spiritual quest, a stubborn questioner, and his poems are infused with the sense that the earth itself is sacred.”
— Edward Hirsch
