A collection of poems devoted to the Boston Red Sox spanning the period 1999 through 2013. Each poem is a "translation" from a well-known poem into a kind of hymn or ode to the Boston baseball team. Thus the title poem is a line-by-line revision of T.S. Eliot's immortal "The Waste Land." Along with a few original works, the reader will find poems based on templates provided by poets as diverse as John Keats and Marianne Moore; Wordsworth and Robert Lowell; Poe and Pound; W.C. Williams and William Shakespeare. Begun as a goof, they seem to have acquired resonance over the years of their composition.
