When The Ball Comes presents for the first time an extensive, cohesive collection of the long, thin poems called Songlines by the multidisciplinary artist and ballplaying legend Torben Ulrich (1928-2023). The more than 300 works call out conventional attitudes often assumed in sports - and life - including dualism, violence, winning and losing, fame and capitalism, and offer alternative approaches around play, sharing, non-duality, non-attachment and awareness. A unique work growing out of Ulrich's decades on the international tennis tour and other athletic endeavors, playing jazz and improvised music, writing about music and culture, making films and paintings, and investigating philosophy and spirituality.
