Way to Go!: Sports Poems

In forty-two lively and often inspiring poems, Lillian Morrison applauds the players and enthusiasts who strive for excellence in athletics. In a spare yet powerful style, this award-winning poet conveys the athletes' high moments and the difficulties they overcome. Skiers and skaters, sailors and surfers, sprinters and snowboarders--beginners or pros--all are celebrated here. These poems also pay tribute to sports rarely written about, such as in-line skating and bicycle.
