Praying Up the Sun ISBN: 978-1-931247-50-4 $17 David Taylor is the naturalist of the human heart. His poems guide the reader to the very edge where words give way to the secret of the world. —John P. O’Grady author of Pilgrims to the Wild (University of Utah Press 1993) and Grave Goods: Essays of a Peculiar Nature (University of Utah Press 2001) No matter where David Taylor finds himself, in Denton, Flagstaff, or Spartanburg, he is always at home. For him, place always begins with location, but is much more in the end. He takes us by the hand down healing and cleansing waters. A poet, in every sense of the word, even in dry, rocky streambeds, he finds freshets of water that lift his spirit and imagination. Based on “blood knowledge” of place David Taylor’s poetry instructs, resurrects body and soul, rekindles love. —Florence Shepard
