What began as an assignment in his 10th grade English Literature class has grown into a passionate and lifelong creative outlet for Albert Nagy. In the fifty plus years since that first poem, he has penned thousands of works, ranging from odes to his wife Kathy, reflections on the births of and milestones in the lives of his children, and meditations on themes of beauty, wonder, religion, and mortality. Ultimately, his poems are a testament to his values, love and tradition, which sustain us through generations.
