“No one would question a poet writing about love for a woman, but when you’re a fan of a team, the emotional attachment is even stronger, because women come and go, but your team never changes.”
–Joe Benigno, WFAN
“He’s the Poet Laureate of the Mets”
–Sports Illustrated
“Frank Messina has become a classic.”
–The New York Times
Full Count: The Book of Mets Poetry takes us inside the mind of a diehard Mets fan, who uses poetry as the means to express his love, angst and suicidal delirium for America’s favorite pastime…and particularly for his team, the New York Mets. From sheer panic to utter joy, this action-packed volume of hilarious, sad and poignant verse about fathers, sons, crushed beer cans and fed-up girlfriends grand-slams its way straight to the heart of anyone who understands what it’s like to be a true fan.
About the Author
Frank Messina, “The Mets Poet,” has appeared on SNY-TV’s Mets Weekly, the station that broadcasts Mets games, in video montages that feature him reciting his poetry against the visual backdrop of glorious moments in Mets baseball. An internationally recognized poet, he travels worldwide giving poetry readings (not all of his work deals with the Mets) and readily admits that much of his Mets poetry is driven by the passion of being a diehard fan of a team that repeatedly endures dramatic victory and defeat like no other sports team.
