To mark the 100th anniversary of America's most storied baseball franchise, authors David Hickey and Kerry Keene salute a very special Yankees fraternity. The Proudest Yankees of All celebrates the 39 players, managers, and team executives who have been elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame for the baseball feats they achieved during their tenure with this storied ball club and over their careers. Ruth, Gehrig, Grove, Mantle, Jackson, McCarthy, Stengel, MacPhail and more are gathered in this one-of-a kind blue and white pinstriped reunion. It's an entertaining and informative reference and tribute to the men who most define Yankees excellence.

David Hickey's second collection builds upon the myriad strengths of his first. In a specimen book of songs, stories, and covenants, Hickey's subjects range from art and astronomy to snowflakes and suburbia. These poems "take their time / Covering the roadside trees in forms of their careful willing . . . gesturing down to earth, unveiling new shapes / for all that they find."

David Hickey is a past recipient of the Milton Acorn Prize, the Ralph Gustafson Prize for Poetry, and was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Award for best first book of poetry in Canada. His work has appeared in magazines and journals across Canada and the United States.
