Wonderful baseball poems from Donald Hall, Richard Eberhart, Robert Pen Warren, Richard Hugo, Gail Mazur, and fifty-two other poets. But to my way of thinking poetry is also about images, about finding ways to present the mundane, the obvious, clothed in words colorful as gift wrapping, offering the reader a vision not seen before, something felt but not quite known. Baseball is poetry. Baseball is ballet. Baseball is chess.
Baseball is mystery.
Most of all mystery.
