Great poetry, well-targeted to its audience. I like the way it captures the flavor of the sport and I particularly like the historical and biographical knowledge Axelrod gives the reader.-- Edward Stever, Suffolk, Long Island Poet LaureateWhether Axelrod is reliving a moment of pleasure, or a time of bitterness and pain, the truth of his poetry is like life itself - compelling.-- Louis Simpson, Pulitzer Prize poetAuthor Dr. David B.
