Flying Change
Flying Change | Henry Taylor
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Henry Taylor's poems in The Flying Change embrace a wide range of subjects and tones. Taylor's concern with the rural anecdote, demonstrated in his two earlier books of poetry, The Horse Show at Midnight and An Afternoon of Pocket Billiards, is here broadened to include not only funny stories called "snapshots" but also extended meditations on change and death. Throughout, Taylor combines everyday speech with careful control of traditional forms to produce poems of unusual power.

Loving this new collection of #poetry from Pulitzer Prize winning #poet Henry Taylor. This Tilted World is Where I Live is not yet in the Litsy directory, so I'm tagging The Flying Change, which is included. My daughter was fortunate to have him as a professor when he was at American University. "This tilted world," indeed. #PoetryMatters #World @TheSpineView

Recalling a real #literarydinnerparty several years ago with Pulitzer Prize winning #poet Henry Taylor. I was living in Iowa farm country at the time, and was so tickled by his shortest poem quoted above. He was absolutely captivating. I could have listened for hours. I've been lucky enough to also hear Wally Lamb & Brett Anthony Johnston. Sticking with the author/teacher theme, I'd love to add Zadie Smith & Toni Morrison to the guest list.

DebinHawaii It sounds like quite the dinner party! 📚👍😀 7y
