I just finished charles r.smith jr's book rimshots. It was a great book. it was about the authors life of basketball, and he makes it into poems that deal with different basketball situations. The reason this book was so great is because it was about basketball but in poem form. No other book that I have ever read has used basketball as content for a poem.
Pain, passion, poetry in motion Rimshots has it all. In stories and poems, Smith shows the range of emotions tied to the hearts of those who love the game of basketball. The in-your-face color typestyles are balanced by the sensitive sepia toned photos of the players. "Don't force anything, let the game come to you". Basketball fans will want this book to come to them. Extraordinary effort for a first time author. Simple and honest.
When I read "Rimshots" I loved the beat of the poems. Being quite involved with basketball (I'm on 3 teams), I thought the book was really cool. I am also an aspiring photographer. So when I read about the author I was amazed that Mr. Smith was able to combine a love for basketball as well as a love for photography. I think he's become my role modle now . He's awesome and all of his books are awesome. "Rimshots" Rocks!
Rimshots is a great poetry book that my young men are drawn too. They really like the way the artwork correlates with the poem's meaning.
Rimshots is creative and witty with amazing photos. Any basketball fan will love this book!
