For the 100th “Talking With Poets” segment, Thom Francis goes way back to the beginning - the very first conversation in the series with local poet, photographer, and peace activist Dan Wilcox. To celebrate this special milestone, baseball season being in full-swing, and both of his daughters playing softball, now's the perfect time to revisit Thom's 2022 chat with Dan about his poem “Jacqueline Robinson” and more. ———— Dan Wilcox has been a major part of the local poetry community since the 1980s. He was a member of Three Guys from Albany with Charlie Rossiter and the late Tom Nattell. He is a familiar face at many literary and art events in the area, almost always with his camera in hand as he claims to have the world's largest collection of photos of unknown poets. He currently hosts the Third Thursday Poetry Night at the Social Justice Center on Central Ave. in Albany, NY. On October 16, 2018, Dan shared his poem “Waiting for Jacqueline Robinson” at Brass Tacks open mic at The Low Beat. Dan has a few poems about baseball – in fact, he has a chapbook, “Baseball Poems”, dedicated to the sport. I wanted to know more about the intersection of poetry and baseball and what inspired him to write that poem about his daughter maybe one day becoming the first female major league baseball player.
Thom Francis introduces us to Poetic License and three poets - Megeen Mulholland, Charlie Rossiter, and Jennifee – who shared their work at the first exhibit reading in 2022 at the Art Associates Gallery in Albany. “Ekphrastic art” is defined as the response of an artist in one medium to a work of art by an artist in another medium. Its more common manifestation is in poetry written about visual art, e.g., paintings, photographs, drawings, sculpture. Poetic License is a project that turns that around, giving local visual artists an opportunity to respond to the work of poets. In 2022, inspired by a project created by the Poetry Barn in West Hurley, NY & the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), the Hudson Valley Writers Guild and the Upstate Artists Guild created their own version of this project which they called Poetic License – Albany. 113 individual poems were submitted by 62 poets; ultimately, 18 works of visual art were exhibited at the Art Associates Gallery & at Lark Hall in Albany, with 3 readings held in conjunction with the exhibits. The Hudson Valley Writers Guild & the Upstate Artists Guild are excited to work together again to present this opportunity in 2025 for collaboration between poets and visual artists in the Capital District.

April is National Poetry Month, a celebration of the art which takes place each April that was introduced in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in the US. To kick off the month, I wanted to share the work of the trio of poets who laid the groundwork for much of the vibrant literary community that we have now in the region - 3 Guys from Albany 3 Guys from Albany (Tom Nattell, Charlie Rossiter, and Dan Wilcox), is a poetry performance group whose goal is to read their poetry in each of the Albanys in the U.S., are friends who share the idea that poetry should be a part of society rather than apart from it -- relevant, communicative and, above all, honest. Their poems address social issues such as the homeless, peace and war, and the environment, as well as joyful celebrations of art, love, and life. They have toured the United States since 1993 and so far they have read in 12 of the 18 Albanys in the USA. Although Tom Nattell died in January 2005, Charlie & Dan are continuing the project, along with the ever-present nudging from the spirit of Tom. In this segment, we will hear poems from all three members starting off with the great Tom Nattell's "On Constitution Avenue" that he read at the QE2 in Albany on February 24, 1995.
