When MVP Kevin Boland gets the news that he has mono and won’t be seeing a baseball field for a while, he suddenly finds himself scrawling a poem down the middle of a page in his journal. Koertge does a great job of making poetry a form of not-unmanly expression and also introducing different types of poems – from couplets to villanelles.
