E. Mervyn Taylor
Portrays the story of New Zealand s greatest exponent of the art of wood engraving. His images have enduring power and beauty.
Wanted
Mervyn Taylor -- wood engraver, painter, illustrator, sculptor and designer -- was one of the most celebrated New Zealand artists of the 1930s to 1960s. He was highly connected to modernism and nationalism as it was expressed in the New Zealand art and literature of the period. Between 1956 and 1964 he created twelve murals for major new government and civic buildings erected in that era of great economic prosperity, during which New Zealand first began to loosen its apron-string ties to England. Tragically, some have been destroyed and others presumed lost -- until now. This fascinating and beautiful book, bursting with archival material, details the detective hunt for the murals and tells the stories of their creation. They cement Taylor's place as one of New Zealand's most significant artists, and are a celebration of the art and culture of our modernist era.
The Waving Gallery
"In The Waving Gallery, Mervyn Taylor continues his poetic journey through the paces of the human predicament. The poems explore the painful and foolish initiations that stumble into an uncharted future where living life becomes a lesson learned early or late, but hopefully on time.Taylor has our undivided attention each time he jumpstarts the characters in his 'waving gallery', from Trinidad to Brooklyn. And they oblige with limbo-bended knees and seasoned back talk.It is Mervyn Taylor's pitch perfect language that makes these poems a welcome that never says goodbye." -Wesley Brown
An Island of His Own
Poetry. African American Studies. Mervyn Taylor "is strenuously after what all honestly skilled craftsmen seek: tone, accent without affectation.The sense of search, of the avoidance of flash, mutes his meters to an admirable degree, and tone, which he found remarkably early, keeps him separate and unique. These are many words for what is perhaps the most difficult aspect of good verse: honesty. Mervyn Taylor is an honest poet, and that is high and sufficient praise indeed."-Derek Walcott

Dictionary of Critical Realism
Dictionary of Critical Realism fulfils a vital gap in the literature, Critical Realism is often criticised for being too opaque and deploying too much jargon, thereby making the concepts inaccessible for a wider audience. However, as Hartwig puts it 'Just as the tools of the various skilled trades need to be precision-engineered for specific, interrelated functions, so meta-theory requires concepts honed for specific interrelated tasks: it is impossible to think creatively at that level without them.' This Dictionary seeks to redress this problem; to throw open the important contribution of Critical Realism to a wider audience for the first time, by thoroughly explaining all the key concepts...
Voices Carry
Strands of Trinidad, Mervyn Taylor's birthplace, are woven throughout this beautiful collection of poems that turn to memory and desire, an unsentimental saudade that contains what has been lost and his love for it: a Port of Spain, where "what fell was dew, not ashes", a Savannah where horses once raced. Now, his capital city lies "like a wounded man". In Brooklyn, on Fulton, murals are fading and on Nostrand dancehalls have closed, as in the larger world, the earth explodes, "country by country". Voices do carry in Voices Carry, the sixth book from this master of what is left unsaid. With exquisite, unembellished detail, Taylor renders visible and audible the drama at the heart of town, th...
Global Ethics
This provocative and original book provides a concise explanation of why global politics must be understood in ethical terms. Mervyn Frost illustrates the theory with a series of detailed case studies on the Iraq war, the war on terror, Iran, the use of private military companies, migration and terrorism and in so doing he forces the reader to confront their own necessary engagement as ethical citizens of a global society.
