On a Grey Thread (1923) is the debut poetry collection of Elsa Gidlow. Both personal and political, Gidlow's poems express the poet's complex feelings as a young woman whose political ideology and sexual identity ran counter to the traditional values of her time.Opening her collection with "The Grey Thread," Gidlow expresses herself with ornamental imagery, decorating her drab existence with the colorful beads of her personal identity: "My life is a grey thread, / A thin grey stretched out thread, / And when I trace its course, I moan: / How dull! How dead! Written while the poet was living in New York, On a Grey Thread is a groundbreaking work of poetry, the first in North American history to openly express lesbian desire.
/ A pale one to begin, / A blue one for my painted dreams, / And one for sin, / Gold with coiled marks, / Like a // But I have gay beads.
