Poetry. Ryan Walker's LONG TERM RAISIN is a pataphysically astute meandering through the possibilities of popping up half-obsessions. I.e. sometimes "grapes are bees in potholes," if you will. It is one longish, funnyish, hobby or poem filled with institutional critique or something, and entirely so. The tumbling speech acts of LONG TERM RAISIN seem almost casual but continued reading reveals a revelatory perception, precise yet open, which constantly and gratifyingly surprises—few poets are capable of such abrupt composure. "I don't even watch movies / much less think / yesterday will get worse / what a poor dinosaur/ like usual if you're an infielder."

"Beyond a Whistle and a Prayer will forever change the way you look at sports and coaching. Society advocates sports as a means to instill virtue and character in our youth. But we all know that the system is broken to a large extent - from youth sports through college, and beyond. Too many coaches and parents are driven by the scoreboard, the win-at-all costs model. Is it any wonder that 70%%%% of kids drop out of sports by age 12? Many of us remember the words and actions of coaches for a lifetime. What memories are you leaving with your athletes? Chris helps us make sense of why sports are broken and how they can be restored as a tool to positively impact lives. It all centers on coaches being transformed by biblical truths and implementing practical tools so they can field competitive teams while also loving their athletes well. Join the journey and learn to coach with joy." -Gilbert Tuhabonye: Author of This Voice in My Heart; 8-time NCAA All-American; Distance Running Coach
