Double dutch, braided scalps, tender-heads, tears shed, bologna and white bread, childhood apparitions, buried dead, petal's phenomenon: these are the images Games's first collection of poetry leaves you with. With reverence for the confessional poems she wrote through the years, Games invites you to radically tell the truth through a lyrical reverie of remembering: "Do not forget the soil you grew in." Somebody's Daughter, the first full-length collection by Jasmine Games, is a necessary read for all those who seek to reckon with the facts of their life.
