Well Played

This book began as an answer to power. In the face of the undeniable, it became a reckoning. Of the lies that are lived to feel belonging. Of the lies that are told to hide shame. Of the lies that are believed to remain within illusions. Well Played is a warning to the present, a welcoming of the truth, and a poet working to earn a way beyond power.
