Rezensionen
Delivers layers of brilliance and linguistic ingenuity. Taylor's poetry is as dangerous as it is dexterous, as sophisticated and tensely coiled as it is a wildfire blazing free, as unclichéd as it is unpredictable, as emotionally engrossing as it is imaginatively mind-blowing. From the very first lines that ignite the imagination to the last . . . this is a consistently dazzling work of art
