Eclipse of the Sun: Boxing Poems - Red Shuttleworth - Bog

Bag om Eclipse of the Sun: Boxing Poems

"The poems within Eclipse of the Sun offer homage to boxing at its grittiest levels and to fighters who persevere, with hope, blood, and bone, against sense and loss. Few professional boxers earn a living. Few world champion boxers arrive in their forties with any money left from their sport. In Eclipse of the Sun, boxers arrive at poverty rather than riches, at post-career menial jobs or worse, with no pension plan to fall back on. Perhaps the luckiest are "journeymen," "opponents" who take on upcoming fighters-with little hope of winning. These poems pay tribute to the improbable dreams of valiant men in a rough sport"--
