In The Long Net: poems about the great game of basketball, Irv Broughton details the wonder—as well as the emotional challenge—of a lifetime spent playing hoops. From his high school and college ball days to his meetings with hoop greats like Chuck Taylor, Larry Foust, Wilt “The Stilt” Camberlain, Sam Jones and Dave Cowens, Broughton offers a wide-sweep of experience, ranging from higher level play to rowdy pick-up games, city league and street-court shoot-outs. In these poems, he brings the power of poetry to captureand convey a passion that marks this remarkable, popular, and enduring sport.
