Imagine something like group solitaire within a room full of objects, Duchamp on a TV, some great old albums, voices from a radio or the past and a set of reverberating cymbals. In Ben Estes's \u003ci\u003eIllustrated Games of Patience\u003c\/i\u003e, the game involves sorting through objects and landscapes to reveal their “soft hums of isolation,” often in the wake of love. If there is winning involved, the rewards are hope for renewal and a “faith in arranging.” Filled with color and light, these poems make vivid the tender details of close observation, “urging love to stretch and green.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Estes\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Kingston, New York.
