Description
Basketball's movement and culture are a natural fit for verse. This collection of essays explores how basketball has influenced poets' perspectives on poetry, language, the body, and human connection. Through their love of the sport, these writers have created poems that reflect their experiences and observations. The intersection of basketball and poetry is often described as "poetry in motion." On the court and on the page, this concept can be a powerful force for change and inspiration. The essays in this book offer a unique perspective on the ways in which sports and poetry intersect, revealing new insights into both. By exploring their connection to basketball, these poets have gained a deeper understanding of themselves and their craft. Their stories are a testament to the enduring power of sports to shape our lives and our writing.
