Soccerverse Zusammenfassung

Soccerverse: Poems about Soccer Elizabeth Steinglass

An NCTE Notable Poetry Book

The perfect gift for young soccer fans, this picture book features twenty-two imaginative poems that capture all aspects of the world's most popular sport.


From the coach who inspires players to fly like the wind, to the shin guard that begs to be donned, to soccer dreams that fill the night, Soccerverse celebrates soccer. Featuring a diverse cast of girls and boys, the poems in this collection cover winning, losing, teamwork, friendships, skills, good sportsmanship, and, most of all, love for the game. Elizabeth Steinglass cleverly incorporates thirteen different poetic forms throughout the book, defining each in a note at the end, and Edson Ike's bold artwork is as creative as the poems are surprising.

Soccerverse Bewertungen

Twenty-two poems celebrate, from a young person's perspective, the beautiful game that is soccer. Ike's digitally created art is stylized and full of motion. His lighthearted illustrations incorporate some poetic fantasy elements and flourishes...Each poem uses one or more of 13 poetic forms described briefly in an author's note-something that will surely charm teachers and aspiring poets. A pitch-perfect ode to the details and delights of playing soccer. -Kirkus Reviews
