The People Are Like Wolves to Me

This collection offers readers a powerful and honest exploration of the human experience in contemporary life, grappling with themes of fear, profound loneliness, existential challenges, and the persistent search for moments of beauty and meaning amidst difficult circumstances.'The latest offerings from William Taylor Jr. don Bacall’s silk stockings, then wander into a Hopper painting and order a Negroni. These poems smell like Gene Kelly’s trench coat in a midnight rain, and leave an aftertaste of dreams that may have died in a seedy alley, but my god, the joy they sparked on their way out is something to remember. Taylor’s voice is persistent, weary, and timeless. Come for the sharp observations; stay for the shy optimism that permeates his work. The collection will take a seat in your mind and linger long after the drinks settle in.' -Sedona FinzerWilliam Taylor Jr. lives and writes in San Francisco.
