Reviews
"There are many who refer to sports as poetry in motion, and there are some who argue that all conversation is a living form of poetry. These are both imperfect metaphors. But here is a book that takes the literal language of sport and converts it into the actual structure of poetry, and -- sometimes, almost by accident -- the result is actual perfection." -- Chuck Klosterman, author of I Wear the Black Hat
