...players, especially the most grizzled veterans, refer to Marino in fond terms. Twelve-year Guard Ed Newman talks of protecting "the mother lode 4 yds. behind me." For bench-pressing 510 lbs. and conquering thyroid cancer, Newman is acknowledged as the strongest person on the team, possibly the most poetic. "We never questioned Marino's youth," he says, "because he has a timeless poise. It's a magical blend of humility and self-confidence. For a while I honestly wondered if he was a fluke or a dream.

Yet Pritchard sets all this against Frost's compelling need to establish his poetic voice. The poet knew that his technique-the colloquial tone played against traditional meters, the apprehension of unnamed mysteries in ordinary experiences-was far more original and subtle than it appeared, and he was determined to assert his distinctiveness...
