The term sport represents an activity we enjoy, whether our pleasure is through physical or mental exertion, through team or individual games, or through competitive or relaxed participation.
The poets in this international collection are people who are former players, enthusiasts in training to better enjoy new hobbies, and those enjoying getaways and personal time. They are coaches, parents, grandparents, and fans, each drawn in some way to the teams, personalities, and aspects of many pleasant pastimes, including baseball, basketball, curling, frisbee, football (American), gymnastics, lacrosse, motor sports, pickleball, rugby, sailing, soccer (football), softball, stickball, swimming, tennis, track, and walking.
