Elegy for Ebbets  Baseball On and Off the Diamond 2019

 

I wanted to let you know that Pint Size Publications just published my latest collection Elegy For Ebbets: Baseball on and off the Diamond. The press also publishes the journal Sport Literate.

 

This is a book I've been working on for many years. It uses baseball in one form or another as a lens to look at larger life issues. It contains seven essay/memoirs--three previously published works and four new ones. The pieces focus on the influence baseball has had in helping to shape the teacher, writer, and adult self I've subsequently become. The collection includes works about childhood, adolescence, college, marriage, teaching, aging, and writing.

 

The book's price is $12.50 and you can order copies through Pint Size Publications www.pintsizepublications.com/orders/#  or  Amazon Prime  https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733325409?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

 

 

 

Living in Michigan, Dreaming Manhattan: Selected Essays and Memoirs 1990-2015.

Eleven selected personal essays and memoirs on/about childhood, baseball, place, aging, travel, teaching, and writing

Still Pitching: A Memoir

Still Pitching is a coming-of-age memoir about being an adolescent outsider, about the fierce drive and determination to become a baseball pitcher, about being a die-hard Brooklyn Dodger fan during an era that sports historians still refer to as "the golden age of New York baseball," and about what it felt like to grow up Jewish in New York City in the 50's. At another level, it is about desire and yearning, determination and resilience. Still Pitching focuses not on heroic deeds but on the achievements and satisfactions that result from the human struggle to keep on striving.
