Terry L. Portillo, Author
It’s a pleasure to report that Mel Glenn’s new book of poems is a home run. My father played baseball with me and I, in turn, have shared that love with my sons. I see myself in quite a few of the poems - taking a girl to Shea Stadium, watching my son play ball. These joys and others are reflected in At Bat. Life lessons and love of the game pour from these poems. At Bat, a labor of love, is highly recommended.
Chuck Hennessy, Noted Baseball Authority
If you think that Mr. Glenn writes about baseball, you are wrong. Baseball is merely the conduit where he writes about life, the lessons we all learn, the regrets we all have, how we deal with aging, loves lost and gained. I urge everyone to read these poems—like all good poetry, you must dive beneath the baseball surface to discover the deeper meanings of life we all struggle with and eventually come to terms with. All of this is wrapped in a deep love for baseball and the many layers of our national sport.
