In his first poetry collection since winning the Pulitzer Prize for 'The Flying Change, ' Henry Taylor beautifully renders the vicissitudes of love, friendship, and vocation. Often using the craft of writing as a metaphor for the examined life, Taylor explores with wry wisdom the slow-dawning awareness of our evanescence. In 'Understanding Fiction' we find gentle regret for time spent dabbling, time spent away from the work that should rightfully claim our passion.
