Item Description
Enjoy two books by local author, Jack Ridl.
Both Losing Season and Against Elegies are autographed.
Also included is The Ripening of Pinstripes by Rodney Torreson
Jack Ridl’s newest collection, Losing Season (September, 2009, CavanKerry Press), chronicles a year of hope and defeat on and off the basketball court in a small town. Ridl has been named one of the 100 most influential sports educators in America by the Institute for International Sport and he is the son of beloved Pitt Basketball Coach Buzz Ridl. A lifetime observing this world informs these poems.
Ridl is the author of two other full-length collections, and three chapbooks, including Outside the Center Ring from Puddinghouse Publications, a collection of circus poems published in 2006, and Against Elegies, which was selected by Sharon Dolin and former Poet Laureate Billy Collins for the 2001 Chapbook Award from The Center for Book Arts in New York.
Ridl, who recently retired from teaching at Hope College for more than 37 years and who with his wife, Julie, founded the college’s Visiting Writers Series, is co-author with Peter Schakel of Approaching Poetry: Perspectives and Responses, Bedford/St. Martin’s Press, and co-editor, with Peter Schakel, of both 250 Poems and Literature: A Portable Anthology, also from Beford/St. Martin’s. Their Approaching Literature in the 21st Century was published by Bedford/St.Martin’s in 2005.
