Taylor Made: Poetry, Prose, And Reflections

The poetry in Taylor Made: Poetry, Prose, and Reflections is more than merely "poetry"; the poetry in this volume is a love story between a man and his family-past and present. Between these pages, Dr. Ray Taylor pays homage to his ancestors, caught in the destructive maw of the Jim Crow South, who, by dint of sacrifice and hard work, escaped its confines to follow brighter prospects in the North. Meet the colorful people who populate Dr. Taylor's family tree: grandfather Papa Will Henry, a hard drinking man who nevertheless imparts important life lessons to his grandson; Papa Will Henry's long-suffering wife, Mama Zorah, who finally takes matters into her own hands; Dr. Taylor's father, a successful preacher hiding a secret; Dr. Taylor's family, with characters easily recognizable in so many families; and Dr. Taylor's wife, Frances, the love of his life. Here in this pages is also found a lovely tip of the hat to the "little people" who Dr. Taylor is the first to acknowledge contributed to both his professional and personal success.
