Games

A reflective Poetry Tavern episode exploring poems about games, from card-table companionship and grief in Louise Glück’s “Widows” to luck, fate, and obsession in Christina Rossetti’s “The Queen of Hearts.” Join us for a thoughtful discussion on how simple games can reveal loneliness, love, rivalry, and the strange ways people try to hold on.
