SWING by Kwame Alexander, Mary Rand Hess, read by Kwame Alexander

With a poet’s passion, Kwame Alexander narrates his novel-in-verse about high school friends Noah and Walt. Alexander’s strong connection to his characters shines—he’s inside the heads of these teens. Consider it a listening companion to SOLO, also by Alexander and Hess, or the celebrated THE CROSSOVER—both Earphones Award winners. In an AudioFile interview, Alexander said, “Good poetry—the kind that connects and resonates with readers and listeners—is work that stands on the page and on the stage.” Published by Blink.
