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 Finzer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Taylor Jr. lives and writes in San Francisco.
