**Lush meditations by a poet whose previous book, *Leaving Saturn*, was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist.**
In *Hoops*, Major Jackson continues to mine the solemn marvels of ordinary lives: a grandfather gardens in a tenement backyard; a teacher unconsciously renames her black students after French painters. The substance of Jackson's art is the representation of American citizens whose heroic endurance makes them remarkable and transcendent.
