Hoop Kings

(3) 4-6 In this companion to Hoop Queens, Smith catches the energy of twelve NBA stars, including Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, and Jason Kidd. The dynamic raplike rhythms ("crooked cornrows / cause chaotic / and catastrophic collisions / with precision") and a colorful design enhance the black-and-white action photos. Endnotes explore Smith's inspirations for the poems.
