Fourteen Ways of Looking

By Erin Vincent Publication Date: April 7th, 2026 Paperback ISBN: 9781646054220eBook ISBN: 9781646054237 Description In this genre-defying blend of memoir, poetry, and history, writer Erin Vincent offers meditations on time, grief, psychology, and numerology. When Erin Vincent was fourteen years old, both of her parents were killed in a traffic accident. Almost forty years later, the number 14 began haunting Erin, appearing everywhere–in the books she was reading, in films, TV shows, and on the news. The repetition felt significant, so Erin began to explore the number beyond her personal understanding. The result is Fourteen Ways of Looking, a memoir of magisterial fractals and a profound meditation on grief, memory, numerology, and the creative process. Biographical note Erin Vincent is the author of Grief Girl (Penguin Random House) which was named a New York Public Library Best Book and an American Library Association Best Book Nominee.
