Sally Albiso Poetry Book Award A project of MoonPath Press (see other related projects). About This award honors the exquisite poetry of MoonPath Press author Sally Albiso, who passed away in 2019. The award is endowed by her husband John Albiso. Though born in Maine and mostly raised in southern California, Sally’s passionate pursuit of poetry began in earnest shortly after she moved to Port Angeles, Washington in 2003. In her first year of writing, she won First Place in the Tide Pools adult poetry contest. She went on to win several other poetry contests, including the Robert Frost Foundation Poetry Prize and several other national poetry contests. Sally was published in numerous poetry journals, and had three chapbooks published, followed by Moonless Grief, her first full-length poetry collection published by MoonPath Press in 2018. Sally loved Port Angeles and the Olympic Peninsula and all it has to offer. In addition to hiking, kayaking, fishing and crabbing, Sally volunteered at the Port Angeles Visitor Center and the North Olympic Library branch in Port Angeles. Sally died at home in Port Angeles, Washington on October 28, 2019, after a more than 14- month battle with pancreatic cancer, her loving husband John of nearly 31 years at her side.
