Life's Games

Some of our earliest memories are of making games out of life. That is true of me. I clearly remember at one point my sister and I using our parents home/restaurant as our stage or playground. So began my life-long love affair with games of all sorts—fun, challenging, and sometimes tragic when life itself plays mercilessly with you. This collection of poetry found in Life’s Games, written between 1993-2003, is a reflection of the impact that life’s curves can throw at a person and the insights viewed from youth’s eyes. And whether or not it feels like a strange, cruel game, it is still life as we each in our own way know it.
