Beschreibung:
Mervyn Taylor is a Trinidad-born poet who divides his time between Brooklyn, New York, and his island home. He has taught at Bronx Community College, The New School, and in the New York City public schools system. The author of five books of poetry, including No Back Door (2010), which won the Paterson Award for Sustained Literary Achievement, and The Waving Gallery (2014), his poems have appeared most recently in Black Renaissance Noire, in The American Voice in Poetry, in the Taos Journal of Poetry and Art, and in the recently released anthology, Veils, Shackles, and Halos. Says Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, "Taylor's is a quiet voice. His poems possess an admirable degree of subtlety, and a tone that keeps him separate and unique."
"In The Waving Gallery, Mervyn Taylor continues his poetic journey through the paces of the human predicament. The poems explore the painful and foolish initiations that stumble into an uncharted future where living life becomes a lesson learned early or late, but hopefully on time. Taylor has our undivided attention each time he jumpstarts the characters in his 'waving gallery', from Trinidad to Brooklyn. And they oblige with limbo-bended knees and seasoned back talk. It is Mervyn Taylor's pitch perfect language that makes these poems a welcome that never says goodbye." -Wesley Brown
