A New Book of Essays

Famously, baseball is a game that proceeds without a clock. The essays in Rick Campbell’s circadian cyclic, Sometimes the Light, extemporize on all kinds of time and times (including baseball’s), concretizing Time as the hidden component of Place. Baseball, too, is a pastoral game where the ball doesn’t do the scoring. Campbell’s vision is vastly peripheral while minutely focused. These illuminating and illuminated essays range far-afield but always land with that keen eye on ball.
