Join Ken Waldman, Marjorie Maddox, and J.D. Scrimgeour for Sports Page, the Pandemic Edition, a freewheeling session, half panel discussion, and half poetry reading. Ken Waldman's 2020 collection, Sports Page, provides a foundation. Former tennis teacher and highly-ranked junior player, Waldman, in his book, takes on sports in a range of settings: a section set in Alaska, a section of sonnets, a baseball section, and more. Marjorie Maddox is the great-grandniece of Branch Rickey, Brooklyn Dodger manager who signed Jackie Robinson, trail breaking athlete of color. She has eleven poetry collections and has written extensively about baseball. J.D. Scrimgeour has also written extensively about baseball, as well as about basketball, and is a great friend of the Festival. All three have published in Aethlon: The Journal of Sports Literature. They look forward to sharing how they've combined a love of poetry with a love of sports.
