The Grandfather Poems use tanka verse to explore the meaning of
being a grandfather: my grandson asleep/in the baby carrier/the
weight/of wanting to live longer/heavy on my shoulders. This tanka
verse also follows the passage of time: in the album/a faded
photograph/when we were young/we thought we'd visit/that island
more often.
From Dodger Stadium to the Astrodome, from the Rio Grande Valley to
Chicago, from Veracruz to Puerto Rico, from high-school teams to
stickball in the streets, from the lessons of fathers to the
excited joy of daughters, from massive cheering in the stands at
Wrigley Field to the dynamics of family and community echoing on
the diamond, these fifteen stories use the sport of baseball to
explore geographical, cultural and dream-like spaces that transcend
traditional notions of the game and transform it into a universal
yet wholly individual experience. Featuring the work of Dagoberto
Gilb, Norma Elia Cantu, Nelson Denis, Christine Granados, Rene
Saldana, Jr., and many more.
