AMERICAN SPORTS POEMS; [signed by Clark].
New York: Orchard Books, (1988). First edition. SIGNED by Tom Clark on half-title page. Clark's poem, "The Last Baseball Samurai," appears on page 14. "Clark easily finessed the apparent gap between his interests in poetry and sports: 'I think they have a natural relationship,' he once wrote. 'The best poems and the best baseball games share a dramatic tension you can’t find in very many other places.'" -- from The Poetry Foundation website. This anthology includes poems about a variety of sports from over 100 notable names, including Shel Silverstein, Walt Whitman, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Robert Frost. Crisp and fine with only small bump to top left spine corner; in fine dust jacket with touch of corresponding creasing.
