NEW FANTASTIC POET–William Taylor Jr.
Hey folks,
Check out this poet living in San Francisco. He is William Taylor Jr. and he a great poet. Like other SF poets he writes about the city–the common things he sees with a great voice and a unique eye. I have bought his new book–”Words for Songs Never Written” I bought it directly from him for $10.00 with paypal. It is worth every cent. Check out his website–and all the links. It has links to sites that have published his work. The Beat (UK) just published one of mine. A lot of Taylor’s poetry is there, but the great stuff is in his new book. I am not impressed with a lot of poetry–but William Taylor Jr is good and worth a second reading. Let me say, if you are going to buy a book of poetry this year (and this contains a lot of poems) then you need to buy this one. You will not be disappointed. You might burn down your greenhouse, but that is another story.

I’m in, I buy way too much poetry, read nothing but these days (I used to read novels voraciously, it takes me two weeks to finish one now, scandal!)………thanks for the tip. I had a look at The Beat and will look some more today. Your piece there is exquisite, no other word will do.

Thanks Jo
William will appreciate it I’m sure. Besides being a good poet, he seems to be a good human being. Centennial Press did a fantastic job with the book and the cover art is very unique. It truly is a great book. As for the other comment, aw shucks.

Yeah I read three or four of his pieces there and they were very cool. It’s good to see such a original and distinctive voice get deserved accolades from the outside world. Onwards, forwards…
