Description: "Hockey haiku is the most rarefied of the haiku genres, and it represents the perfect union of graceful brutality, ordered chaos, and the blood that courses through our veins ... and onto the ice. Hockey Haiku: The Essential Collection is full of poems that embody to perfection hockey's unique harmony of beauty and violence. For example: Zamboni bumper: Don't laugh -- It crushed the leg of the Little Leaguer. And it turns to the questions we as a hockey society are reluctant to answer: Conflict -- How can I pledge my allegiance to two national anthems?--BOOK COVER.
