Fourteen Threadless Needles is a poetry collection about a lifetime of relationships, the relationship of a lifetime and the awareness that 'Something there is that doesn't love a happy ending.' Poems about love, sharing, laughter, forgetting, second guesses and a poem for you:

A Poem for You
— I want to write a poem for you.
— Um, okay.

— Can you pose for me, sitting in this chair in the sunlight?
— Why?

— I need to be able to see you clearly—to describe you perfectly.

— Should I take off my clothes?
— You don't have to. It wasn't going to be. . .

— What if I want to?
— If you do, I'll never get to the poem.

— That's okay isn't it?
— Well, I kind of had my heart set on writing a poem.

— Can't you change your mind? Your heart?
— Can I do the poem first?

— Only if it's nonabstractly unambiguous about the state of my undress.

— I don't think I have the right words with me. I left them home by accident.

— Then. Don't. Use. Words.
— It's a poem. It has to have words.

— Not in my book.
