Hoop Kings (Sports Royalty)

These poems are wonderful - each takes a different approach to characterizing the talent and personalities of these basketball superstars. I have found the poems to appeal to my male students, which is significant and valuable to me, as they are often the students I encounter the greatest resistance from in their first contact with poetry as a form. My only compliant? I just wish the author had included more poems! The ones he wrote are wonderful, but there are only about a dozen. It is quite a slim volume!
