Please join Busboys and Poets Books as we welcome DC legend and poet E. Ethelbert Miller to Takoma for the debut of his new book If God Invented Baseball.Â
E. Ethelbert Miller is a writer and literary activist. He is the board chair of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), a progressive think tank located in Washington, D.C. For ten years he has been the editor of Poet Lore, the oldest poetry magazine published in the United States. In 1996, he delivered the commencement address at Emory and Henry College and was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Literature. Mr. Miller has been a Fulbright Senior Specialist Program Fellow to Israel in 2004 and 2012. In February 2006 he was the keynote speaker at the 50th Anniversary of the Fulbright Program in Israel, at the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C.
If God Invented Baseball is a complete game of baseball poems, a full nine innings pitched by a “master twirler,†whose complete arsenal includes fastballs, curves and change-ups, and the occasional knuckler, to keep readers swinging for the fences, his full artistry on display.
Books will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please contact books@busboysandpoets.com with questions.Â
