| ![]() R.R. King Releases New Poetry Collection Lies and Games That Explores Emotional Guarding, AttractioBy: BookBuzz.net Written from lived experience, Lies and Games examines attraction, silence, and the tension between wanting closeness and fearing it. Through a series of concise, emotionally restrained poems, the collection documents moments of connection that never fully resolve, capturing the push and pull of intimacy without framing it as a traditional love story. Instead, the book lingers in the space around love, where desire, self-protection, and unspoken truths coexist. Visually, the collection is accompanied by sketch-style illustrations that mirror the emotional themes of the poems, reinforcing the sense of entanglement and repetition suggested by the title and cover. Together, the poetry and artwork create a cohesive portrait of becoming, marked by confusion, restraint, and vulnerability. R.R. King, a New Yorker by identity, spent years building a life defined by discipline, control, and resilience. Poetry emerged during moments when that armor slipped. Lies and Games documents a masculine unraveling, speaking to the experience of standing in a full room while feeling alone, and tracing adulthood through trial, error, and reflection. Lies and Games is available now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ Book Details Title: Lies and Games Author: R.R. King Publication Date: December 27, 2025 Publisher: Independently Published ISBN: 9798241289926 Genre: Poetry, Men's Issues End
