Touching All The Bases: Poems From Baseball
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

From odes to Josh Wilson and Curt Flood to poems about Denny McLain and the anonymous dancing usher at a minor league game, this is a celebration in poetry of baseball. A bat is a lost artefact in Adirondack, while Writing Baseball Poems in Winter deals explicitly with recovery.

This is a wonderful book of poetry that had me pining for the lost summers of my youth. Poems like "Nobody Ever Stole" brings back the smell of fresh cut grass of the ballpark on a Saturday afternoon, the odor of the hotdogs, and the crunch of the CrackerJacks! Peeler has hit a towering home-run with his verse and I highly recommend it!
