Taking its title from one of the first board games in America, Robin Ekiss's meditations on childhood, history, and memory are a canary in the coal mine of imagination. From disembodied dolls to the dank Parisian catacombs, the gilded interior of a Faberge egg to the unfathomable edge of Niagara Falls, reading these poems is like peering into the perfectly still world of a diorama or the dark shine of a daguerreotype: an experience both uncanny and uncompromising.
