BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
Oct 22, 2020
Rick Magee won Byrd’s Books Battle IV on October 21, 2020, enchanting the audience with his take on Quan Barry’s novel We Ride Upon Sticks. It’s a coming-of-age story set against the background of the 1980s about the Danvers, Massachusetts High School girls’ field hockey team and the quest to redeem itself after a dismal season the year before. “What really makes this book stand out,” said Rick, “is that the author is also a poet, and it shows. Every page, every sentence reveals her command of language; her prose hustles and bops with the midnight energy of ‘80s pop songs throughout the story. It’s funny. It’s lovely. It’s exhilarating. You’ve got to read it!”
