The Waving Gallery by Mervyn Taylor

"Mervyn Taylor is a poet of great sensibility. His astute, quiet and resonant poems bring us into what is not said as easily as he does portraitures that are singular in their insight. His poems shine without calling attention to themselves. Whether in NY or Trinidad, whether about love, forgiveness or adventure, his poems are gorgeous. This is a book to be savored. Here is a mature and muscled poet, writing that gives us what we look for in poetry: that brew of word, sound, truth." —Veronica Golos
