Announcing The Publication of “DOUGLAS KNOCKS OUT TYSON” by Robert Eugene Rubino

“Rubino amazes with big love and a historian’s knowledge of all things athletic.” — Dee Allen

With fire and wisdom, poignancy and tenderness, Robert Eugene Rubino’s poetry in “DOUGLAS KNOCKS OUT TYSON” explores legends and underdogs on big stages and in living rooms, on an expressway and over a checkerboard at a nursing home. Rubino’s superb craft, narrative strokes and smooth style have created a powerful collection of poems that illuminate, explore, and touch the heart.
