The author of The Water Tower and The Ten People You Meet returns with a striking new collection featuring twelve original poems which offer candid reflections on love, loyalty, estrangement and devotion.

Before you read Twelve Valentines, there are only three rules each reader must abide by:

Whatever you want it to be, it is.

Whatever you take from it, is yours.

Whatever it means to you, is real.

Because whoever reads this and understands they’re loved, will always be.
