William Taylor, Jr. conveys longing as well as any poet writing today. His words weep in the mist of poetic transcendence, as he examines the common miracles that live within and near each of us. Words for Songs Never Written will put him indelibly on the map as one of the best poets of our generation.

Taylor, it seems to me, has picked up west coast poetry where Bukowski fumbled it. He has moved beyond the tedium and banality of writers obsessed with image and the idea of “cool,” and has chosen instead to focus on the much harder task of digging for truths. His voice, I think, is one by which all others will need to be measured.

[William Taylor, Jr.’s] quest to grasp a sense of understanding within a chaotic world illustrates how essential poetry is today.
