About the work: The book is divided into four sections: Spirit, Mind, Body, and the author's notes. The three sections break down very well the idea and thoughts of retirement. The Author's Notes provide insight to the poems and the authors thoughts and ideas in prose.

The topics vary and contrast. From online poker playing to ocean surfing. The choice between the black path and the white path. To the cheesy "Big 6-0". Grady Means pulls together a variety of messages and feelings about retirement and the sudden loss of a lifetime of routine. Endgame is a good collection of poetry mainly for those approaching retirement age. Those in retirement already know it, those in their twenties and thirties don't think that far in to the future.

All in all a very good collection on the the subject being covered. Endgame may not be for everyone, yet but it will be soon enough. See less
