A new anthology of baseball poems will be published in the fall of 2025 by Waters Edge Press. The editors, Tom Erickson and Ed Werstein, hope to assemble 75 to 100 poems that celebrate the many facets of baseball, and show off the many ways baseball plays an important and rewarding part in many lives.
Do you have a favorite player or team? Did you play in Little League? Did you listen late at night to games when your team was playing on the west coast? Did you play stick ball on city streets? Do you remember the first major league game you attended? You get the idea.
Please send only one or two poems, in one Word document file, to: Ed Werstein at wersted@gmail.com .
You must put “Baseball Poems, (your name)” in the subject line.
Previously published poems are OK with proper acknowledgment.
Payment for an acceptance is one copy of the anthology. After publication, all rights revert to the poet.
