Love sports? This is the book for you!

This action-packed poetry anthology, edited by award-winning poetic collaborators Irene Latham and Charles Waters, features twenty contemporary athletes who have overcome obstacles, broken records, and inspired fans around the globe. Poets zoom in on a meaningful moment from each athlete's career--including Juan Soto's father predicting on his tenth birthday that one day he'd play in the World Series and Simone Biles coming back to compete after getting the twisties during the Tokyo Olympics. The collection includes JaNay Brown-Wood writing about LeBron James, Jaime Adoff writing about Mookie Betts, and Kao Kalia Yang writing about Suni Lee. It's a slam dunk, a home run, and a perfect 10!
