Poetry in tennis motion
What does poetry have to do with tennis? We’ll find out at this year’s Wimbeldon. A Championship Poet has been hired to write poems summing up the matches and atmosphere at the Grand Slam tournament.
At first I thought was a really strange idea, but it could be very creative, funny and entertaining. The man they’ve chosen to write the poems is Matt Harvey. He’s a British comedian and poet. Apparently Harvey is going to write poems on all thing Wimbledon “from the grass and its bounce to rain and the roof; strawberries and cream and all the unfolding drama of the matches and players.”
Can’t wait to hear more.
