"Steven Taylor, celebrated minstrel-bard is the heir apparent to W.C. Williams and the Allen Ginsberg of "snap-shot" poetics. His classically-trained ear is precise and infallible. His ever-observant eye zooms in to focus on tender particulars & mysteries of quotidian (timeless) existence: love, family, elegiac friendship, the abuses of power. His wit is human and divine. LOVELAND is a debut compilation of gems from a remarkable, erudite Renaissance Man, at home both with the subtleties of continental philosophy and the punk rock stages of the world. Get up and Cheer!"  Anne Waldman.
