Beskrivning

Losing Season explores the often unsettlingly central role that sports play in American life. From the star player to the kid who never gets in a game to the town religious fanatic to the disgruntled parent-all have their say. Even if you haven't lived in this town, you will recognize the lives of quiet endurance, unrecognized triumph, harsh weather, and hardnosed hope that propel people through the season.

Recensioner i media

"An unmatched collection bringing to high school basketball the nuance and detail the film Bull Durham brought to minor league baseball. Poems so compelling, so varied, so familiar to anyone who has felt the impact of high school sports that they may well introduce a new genre. This is a terrific book - there's nothing like it." CONRAD HILBERRY "Losing Season isn't just a great book of poetry, for it is much more than that - it is more like the Great American Novel we have long hoped would grace our literary landscape." RICHARD JONES"
