In Lennox in Twelve, award-winning poet Van G. Garrett explores moments, both large and small, in the life of heavyweight champion boxer Lennox Lewis.

Using an effortless style to peel back the layers to one of the twentieth century's best athletes, Garrett packs a powerful punch with his words, one worthy of his subject.

An excerpt from Lennox in Twelve:

NO ROSIN

One may not slip on a banana peel,
But one can slip on a canvas.

Slick as grease.

Balance, melting ice.
Hands, unsure.

Feet, burdens,
Scapegoats.

Reasons a fight was over,
Before it began.
