That Sweet Diamond: Baseball Poems

40 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80735-X
(3) 4-6 Nineteen free-verse poems about baseball describe the game from many angles--bases covered include an elderly fan's devotion, how to spit, and a curse for the pitcher. Despite a few flat images, Janeczko's love of baseball is infectious, and Katchen's illustrations capture the taut energy of both players and fans in thick smears of pastels.
