Summer Sport: Poems

After the success of Winter Sport: Poems, Priscila Uppal resumed her position for Canadian Athletes Now for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, collecting her artful dispatches in her ninth collection Summer Sport: Poems. The acrobatic verse collected out of those unique experiences will enable you to wrestle with Plato, volley with Elizabeth Barrett Browning, eat yams with Usain Bolt, fence with Don Quixote, make soccer history with Canada’s women, and bash chairs in wheelchair rugby. A must-buy for any sports fan, poetry aficionado, English teacher, or Olympic junkie. Summer Sport: Poems is available for purchase from Mansfield Press and amazon.ca.
