Produktbeschreibung
Too Short to Box with God is a poetry collection that draws on the vast history of one of the world's oldest sports to both celebrate and reflect on the sweet science of boxing and the fighters who have not only dedicated their lives to the fight, but have embodied cultural and socio-political importance that goes beyond the ring. Ranging from the works of ancient literature, such as Homer's Iliad and The Bible, to towering and transcendent fighters like Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali, Too Short to Box with God examines how boxing, across time, has intersected with entertainment, literature, politics, race, and religion. Evoking the action, atmosphere, controversy, and sympathy of a complicated and violent sport, Too Short to Box with God, explores the impact of boxing in a poetic form like no other collection has done before.
