Go Play Outside, a collection of basketball poems written by Robert Cooperman was released in February 2022.

Through these poems, Cooperman delivers a coming-of-age story that documents his passion and love for basketball, the lessons to be taken from the game, and the ways in which one’s life can be shaped through sports. Readers get an inside look into what it was like to grow up Jewish living in Brooklyn in the 1950s and ‘60s.  

“I get to remember and relive the relatively few times I excelled on the court and the many more times I fell metaphorically flat on my face but picked myself up and continued playing and loving every second of every game,” said Cooperman. “I hope you do, too.”   

Cooperman’s love for the game of basketball will be sure to encapsulate all who read. Grab your copy of, Go Play Outside today as it has been released for all to enjoy. This is available wherever books are sold, including in our shop.
