Description

<DIV><P>If baseball is the sport of nostalgic prose, basketball&rsquo;s movement, myths, and culture are truly at home in verse.

In this extraordinary collection of essays, poets meditate on what basketball means to them: how it has changed their perspective on the craft of poetry; how it informs their sense of language, the body, and human connectedness; how their love of the sport made a difference in the creation of their poems and in the lives they live beyond the margins.

Walt Whitman saw the origins of poetry as communal, oral myth making.

The same could be said of basketball, which is the beating heart of so many neighborhoods and communities in this country and around the world.

On the court and on the page, this &ldquo;poetry in motion&rdquo; can be a force of change and inspiration, leaving devoted fans wonderstruck.</P></DIV>
