Elegy for a golden goal.
Do you remember where you were when you read "Do Your Remember Where You Were?"? Still the greatest thing that I, or anyone, ever wrote about hockey, or anything.

And here's an elegy: Sousa's Washington Post March. May it never again be played until the Post returns to being a real news organization

Poking my head out amid the generally deplorable state of the world to say just how much I enjoyed Declan Ryan's poetry collection Crisis Actor. Lots of boxing, but certainly not just boxing--there's even a kind of elegy to Nick Drake! Inventive, precise, moving, and thoughtful, all around.
