📚 Extra Innings: Baseball Poems Vintage Hardcover 1993 Ages 8 - 12+

📚 Extra Innings: Baseball Poems Vintage Hardcover 1993 Ages 8 - 12+ This collection of poems includes “Casey at the Bat” and May Swenson’s classic “Analysis of Baseball” as well as newer, lesser-known pieces that will be embraced by all who play, watch, dream about, and celebrate the game of baseball. For kid & adult fans alike: An attractive offering that seems--as a collection of poems about baseball--to be unique: 19 high-quality entries, including a couple of excerpts (e.g., from Golenbock's Teammates); the inevitable Casey; reliables like Lillian Morrison, Patricia Hubbell, and the anthologist; and some elegantly evocative, but perfectly accessible, adult voices--Robert Francis's ``Base Stealer,'' May Swenson's splendid, ever-hypnotic ``Analysis of Baseball.'' On every spread, Medlock's handsomely constructed impressionistic oils exude color and enthusiasm, capturing the body language and facial expressions of the pros and the boys and girls of Little League with equal skill. A hit! -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. In good vintage read condition See Pics for a sampling of poems & images
