Gen: Poetry and Sports

[Cheryl Bybee <cbybee@TENET.EDU>]

While this is by no means a complete list of such things, here are a few
titles of books of poems about sports suitable for students.  I like to
share them in the appropriate seasons.  One of my favorites from this
list is *The Sidewalk Racer and other poems of sports and motion.*
Enjoy!
