In A Good Leave, poets George Sawaya and Devin Kelly intertwine voices and poems with a meditation that begins in a smoky pool hall. Using the game of pool - and all of its associations - as a starting point, the two poets dwell on loss, friendship, addiction, and love. A Good Leave is about what you can control, and what you can't, about what begs you to stay when the final hour beckons, calling you to go. A Good Leave is a gathering, a betrayal, a want, a reassessment of who you love and who you've left behind.
