Never Just a Game explores how the often-overlooked human practice of playing games can inform our lived experiences from the intimate and domestic to the cultural and historical. Poems here consider Goldilocks and Peter Pumpkin Eater, historical and contemporary wars, and the long struggle of working people. The games themselves drive the sound and forms of the poems-from short narratives to lyrical observation to small experiments. Throughout, there is yearning-for connection with other people and for living fully in each fleeting moment. Through it all are the tabletop games that conjure these stories, games from the Victorian Era to the present. And behind them is the question of how games speak to us as we gather at a table-friends, families, new companions-to craft a story together.
