Self published poems and a few short tales told in verse. "3201 e's" (approximately the number of e's in the manuscript)-at first glance a very unpoetic title but beyond that a reflection on the making of poetry from common things. I believe a poem is finite. Poetry is not. Sometimes they travel together. I once collected comments from readers and ended up with more pages of things said about my poems than pages of poetry I'd written. These few are recent: "There's a light, divine freedom in your writing I've always loved." C.E."It's a wow. Warm, wonderful, full of wise and well spoken words. Always with a sense of humor, a sense of wonder, and new viewpoint to share." R.R."I read to the 5th one & have tears in my eyes!" L.D.

You and I have been knocking around this universe for a very long time. Most of us have never met except perhaps in bygone lives. I believe that, like us, the essence of art and poetry lives independently of time and space. Their intersections, our coexistences, are experienced between minds, soul to soul. Grant me that. Poetry can only work if this is true. These poems are for relationships, not least for love: eternal, raw, troubled, physical and spiritual, loss, end of life, continuum, parent and child, friends of course. From: Her bags were packed... To: More than any heart can hold. The poems in this book are meant to be read aloud, whispered perhaps, even sung, but always heard.

As reviewed on ArtistsRunThisPlanet.com ... Like the days of Homer, lyric tales have found their way to us, using words set to a rhythm, hitting us like waves playing against the shoreline. Poetry, when it is done best, immortalizes the triumph of man over the elements, shouts the glory of the human spirit, and whispers the tragedies that blow across the universe like passing storms. Taylor finds himself standing on a cliff at the edge of eternity, looking out across the vastness of space, building a bridge that carries us past ourselves, toward unimagined futures, leaving us back where we started, hopeful, wishful and oh so powerful. He delivers a book that is spiritual, fixing the reader into strange yet familiar situations where they must look to the future, take in the past, notice every detail from an exterior view. Taylor is a master, effortlessly maneuvering our thoughts and emotions. Get ready to fly to heights well worth the trip. Enjoy the ride!
