What Comes from the Night

About this ebook
What Comes from the Night: a question is raised and answers are promised. Yet when the poet records what the night has delivered to him in short, thought-provoking verse, new questions are suggested. John Taylor welcomes these gifts of enigmas ever transforming themselves. He also finds them, by day, in a high Alpine valley, amid troubling vestiges chanced upon in Brittany, along the Loire River near which he has long lived, and by imagining himself overlooking an American bay to which a haunting death continues to draw him. His deep-probing lines leave the reader on thresholds.
