(3) 4-6 Twelve professional women's basketball players, including Chamique Holdsclaw, Tina Thompson, and Nikki McCray, are presented through the rhythmic beat of Smith's poetry. Alliterative phrases and well-paced rhymes capture the impressive women and energetic game. Sepia-toned action photos are enhanced by splashes of color and playful type. Notes at the back explore Smith's inspirations for the poems.
