The Poetry of Sport (Zine) Interest Form is now live!

This zine is currently in the development stage. The purpose of this project is to compile a diverse range of written and visual works that discuss, analyze, or reference the poetry of sport. Our editors aim to give voice to artists, writers, and creators who are not members of traditional sports fan spaces or who are members of non-traditional sports fan spaces.

“The outcome of things isn’t up to the stars, if I race badly that’s on me, not ‘cause some guy with an agenda told me it’s the case from connecting some glowy friggin’ dots in the sky.” Lando grumbles half of that, aware he’s guided the conversation onto a different path than the one it started on.

“Or race well,” Oscar says, catching Lando by surprise.

Summary:

« It is the nature of all sports that require you to be brave. With some it is more obvious than others: in a racecar at 300 kilometres an hour, or on a metal frame hurtling headfirst down an icy slope. In football the consequences of fear are less fatal, but they’re still present. A mistimed tackle leading to injury, a lack of trust in your reflexes leading to a game being lost. Instinct takes you far. How to balance a pass perfectly into a teammate’s feet becomes muscle memory, an exercise Carlos can do in his sleep. But Carlos’ job goes beyond that. He thinks. Where all his teammates run into battles fearless, confident that they will make it out the other side victorious with the ball in their possession or in the back of the net, Carlos slows things down. He watches, and notices. He searches for chinks in the opponent’s armour, points them out for others to sink their teeth in. »

This Discord is also a safe space to talk about all your other favourite drivers with only one condition : no hate towards anyone under any circumstances (including the heat of the race).
