Baseball- what many American’s consider the official start of spring! What better way to celebrate the season than with Paul Janeczko’s poem book, The Sweet Diamond. Janeczko offers the readers a collection of his own poems written in free verse and rhyming prose. The Sweet Diamond is a hit for any baseball fan, offering baseball poems of on the field of off, such as A Curse Upon the Pitcher, How to Spit, and After the Game.
Carole Katchen’s paintings are done in abstract pastels and offer a sense of being along the sidelines watching the action.
