Filled with profound, lyrical, and nostalgic poems, The Songs of Summer: Poems About Baseball is the book for any baseball fan with a literary bent. Fifty-six poets exhibit their passion for the sport in a companionable collection of poems tinged with humor, sensibility, and pathos.

From Roberto Clemente and Al Kaline and Billy Martin to minor league stadiums, small town ball fields, and Little League parks, these insightful poems encompass a universe of baseball experience and appreciation. You will go back in time to the Negro Leagues and the All-American Girls League where the sounds of the ballpark become the language of poets, and the rhythm and choreographies of baseball become lines of verse.

If you are a baseball fan or simply a lover of good poetry, this is the anthology you have been waiting for--carefully selected poems that speak of a love of baseball inning by inning, game by game, season by season, and generation to generation.
