Description: Cover features Hall-of-Fame pitcher Juan Marichal. Highlights: Our first issue after a two and one-half year layoff features a fictionalized story about two retired ballplayers by W.P. Kinsella, historical accounts of the famed Sandy Koufax-Juan Marichal rivalry by Peter Bjarkman and of the 1908 "Hitless Wonder" White Sox by Richard Partin, a comparison of poetry and baseball by Lynn Rigney Schott (daughter of former major league player and manager Bill Rigney), a fine portrayal of a diverse little league by Dan Gabriel, and a humorous reflection on managers ("Fat Guys in Polyester") by Canada's Parliamentary Poet Laureate George Bowering. Other highlights include poetry from Brooke Horvath, James Kaufman, and Ken Waldman, a fun short drama by Josh White, Sean Connolly's fictional "The Roar," and a poignant reminiscence of childhood baseball by Allen Dennis. Volume 15, Number 1. Length: 96 pages. Note: From 1992 through 2008, Elysian Fields Quarterly was the pre-eminent journal of baseball literature and culture--a beautiful 6x9 perfect-bound publication packed with articles, essays, poetry, fiction, book reviews, humor, fantasy lineups, quirky illustrations, and a great deal more. Like its predecessor, The Minneapolis Review of Baseball, EFQ featured contributors ranging from accomplished academics to first-time writers, and forged a special niche among readers that wasn't dependent on mainstream sportswriters or pundits to give it credibility. Although the publication went on hiatus in 2008, perhaps a comeback might still be around the corner. Issue is in new condition, leftover from unsold original inventory.
