Looking After: Poems
Looking After: Poems
This collection explores many subjects that demand looking after - family, artistic achievements including literature, the natural world, memories, history, and others that call for tending to. It also focuses on the complexities of this engagement - when easy, when difficult, when the subjects are shaded by emotion or the effects of time. Then too there is the looking after, as in afterwards, the reflection on things gone by. These poems cover a broad range - small personal experiences to the grander occasions of life, and the memories of life. They explore the multi-faceted subject of alert custodianship - the necessity of paying daily attention, while at the same time tending to the past already lived.

"Observers, who discern their objects deeply, ignite the natural and the fashioned world alike with their singular powers. From echolocation, to the robe collection for an Infant of Prague statue, to all-night talk radio, to Achilles' one act of mercy, to the wing of Da Vinci's Gabriel, to a bobolink, to Darwin's earthworms, to Wild Bill Hickok's death chair, Ann Taylor knows what she is about and how her perception alters everything. Time does not impede this poet. Nor range. Somehow, from the smallest of details, Taylor, with her smooth, gliding cadence, summons up a grandeur in these poetic marvels that both comforts and compels."--Dennis Daly "You can't make this stuff up, goes the saying, and poet Ann Taylor doesn't. Rather, she takes notice, mining ordinary encounters for riches in this book. She perceives irony in her banker father's joy divining after hours with his metal detector. She muses that arrowheads and gold nuggets hawked along Route 66 during family trips must have been counterfeit. With curiosity, she ponders the seeming weight of D
