Being a bachelor suits James in his tales seeking solitude down dark trails with good friends, in seek of refuge from editorial pressures. He travels about sarcastically, impatient and panicked waiting in line at a grocery store by day then cruising through clubs with wild women unable to keep monogamous relations and bedazzled by his roommate's twentysomething.

walking home after a night out
a midnight drive
It will never matter how much aftershave you put on.

Thick as Thieves
jazz, the soundtrack to the evening
Last words
unexpected
"James writes with conviction and honesty, he will be, I'm sure a poet to watch out for in the future."
