What Can the Matter Be?
Enduring poems that distill hope from despair, love from sorrow, and courage from ambivalence. In this spare and elegant collection, distinguished poet Keith Taylor demonstrates his finest power of observation, watching the natural and human world go by. What Can the Matter Be? considers aging and death—of the self, of animals, of the earth—as well as place, and how rootedness in place allows a sturdy vantage point from which to see and reflect on the wider world. In poems and prose both grave and gleeful, Taylor controls the line and the lyric with experience and care. His curiosity and admiration for nature shine through in poems such as "Under Their Mortal Glory" and "The Gleaners," while "Responsibilities" and "That Room in Alberta" contrast the minutia of individually lived moments against the global, uncontrollable decay of nature and societies. And then there are moments of sheer delight, as in "Twenty-Three Nuns on Warren Road." Together, these nuanced and often surprising works urge empathy and call out in sorrow, love, and hope for the world.
The Return of Felimid mac Fal by Keith Taylor
This is the tale of one Felimid mac Fal: vagabond, roustabout, poet—and magician! For Felimid is a poet of the old Irish blood: a fully trained bard of Erin. And his is the sort of poetry that can sing shy dryads out of their trees and dragons into slumber and juggle the fixed round of the seasons as a jester juggles knives. A man who saw the bard's pretty face and the harp on his back might think him a simple minstrel. That mistake could cost him his life. But a woman who saw the bard's pretty face might have other ideas...particularly if she is Gudrun Blackhair, the most notorious pirate on the northern sea! "For lovers of magic, history, and/or swashbuckling adventure, [Bard] is an excellent novel about an earthy and genuinely likeable Irish hero."—Science Fiction Review

This Is the Way the World Ends
February, 2031: The global population now stands at an estimated 400 million, and every survivor bears the scars of humanity's decade-long struggle to defeat an enemy few believed could exist.

Together these chilling interviews des...
Closing in on Our Everyday Birds
The life patterns of the bird species that we see every day are all linked in various ways to the world of survival, much like our own. Between these pages, naturalist and retired countryside ranger Keith Taylor takes the reader through the network of survival tactics of the bird species that may be encountered daily, depending on where the reader lives. Included are autobiographical portraits, recollections of the pioneering days of BBC wildlife radio programmes, and wildlife photography adventures and the techniques involved. In Closing in on Our Everyday Birds, the author aims at involving readers in that fascinating place - their local patch, which beckons just beyond the doorstep.
Political Ideas of the Utopian Socialists
First Published in 1982. In this book, Taylor has selected for special attention the work of Saint-Simon and his disciples (the SaintSimonians), Owen, Fourier, Cabet, and Weitling - those thinkers who made the most important contributions to the development of early socialist theory. The author discusses the designation of 'utopian' which entered into the conventional vocabulary of the history of ideas, and is now used almost without question. This title argues that these thinkers were certainly utopian in the sense that they sought to describe the structure of an ideal future society.
