Days at the Arcade Playing Far from the Tree

A cohesive collection of poems that blend the unanswered questions of how things such as finding love, addiction to vice and need of success plagues our everyday lives. The "e;Arcade"e; represents ones mindstate while striving for the things we lust for. The "e;Tree"e; represents a dream, standard or goal. These poems explore the actions and habits that keeps us in the same place for "e;days"e;(far from the tree). Deeply influenced by paintings, these poems were written in a way that puts you in the hallways of the gallery. In a gallery where everything hanging on the wall serves as a mirror.
