Bøger af Robert Paul Taylor

Robert Paul Taylor writes from the hip, scathingly vulnerable and raw, from an honest perspective of a man growing up in the western world recovering from a deadly drug addiction. Impasse is the sixth instillation of volumes immediately following Solitary Man. Robert writes in a stream of consciousness prose, which capture emotional photographs shot through an autobiographical lense of his lost loves, triumphs and losses. Follow along and collect all of his other books including, Like This, All Out War, Of Everything I Once Loved and Solitary Man.

In the winter of 2007, Taylor witnessed the painful last days of his mentor, best friend and father come to an end. Picking up the pen just days after his passing, these poems are the words that fell from the sky. Going back to the days when the only way to express oneself was to just let words flow to paper. Learning to grow, living to strive and failing at all costs, these are the poems of the emotional journey of losing a parent. Like This is how it feels to be alive.

Burn Ash Rise is Taylor's seventh collection in his auto biographical series of memoir, prose and poetry. Sometimes the burden of capitalism, comparison, consumption, overall Americanism, in general, can get so exhausting, sooner or later, we need a break. Some longer than others. Burn Ash Rise is an American escapism book in the most literal of terms. The book opens as Taylor is heading to the airport terminal. Burn Ash Rise is a collection of thought waves over sixty-five days of soul searching through Southeast Asia.

Of Everything I Once Loved is the next book in the series of stream of consciousness poetry that immediately follows All Out War. Picking up where we left off, Taylor has just been released from incarceration and so begins a 36-month term of felony probation. Figuring out who we really are later in life is often about discarding all of the things we've stacked upon us along the way. Of Everything I Once Loved is letting go. When we clear the clutter of the past away, under all the shit we've collected, there lies a beautiful beaming gem. To find this marvel of life is a gift we can continue to discover, over and over again.
