What better view is there of daily struggle, of America’s complex legacies, of true love than from the bleachers of a baseball stadium? In the same way that NPR’s Car Talk was not really all about cars, these poems are not really all about baseball.

A collection of poetry and quotes about baseball—and about so much more. The diamond is the backdrop for Loren Broaddus’s exploration of nostalgia, family, race, jazz, and the winding hallways of history. Joe DiMaggio is sometimes domestic, sometimes political—microscopic here, aerial there. While Broaddus’s poems may start at home plate, he sends them flying in all directions: sometimes into left field, sometimes out of the park entirely.

Industry Reviews

With a unique attraction for baseball game fans ( a sport often described as poetry in motion played out on a field of dreams), "Joe DiMaggio Moves Like Liquid Light: Poems" will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to both community and academic Contemporary American Poetry collections.
