With paintings by Caroline Fran\u00e7ois-Rubino

\nJune 2018<\/p>\n

Our creative team is seasoned by an association where sometimes the work comes first, sometimes the painting. In this book, the noir masterworks appear to follow the verse in that they amplify and describe so accurately. Taylor is an ex-pat living in France who calls upon his childhood in Iowa as well as his explorations in Europe to memorialize nature\u2019s great sentinels. It\u2019s an art book and a poetry book. At the center of each landscape is a voice of wonder and appreciation as well as a memory and mortality. Being alone in nature will do that, lets you know what you think and remember \u2014 an inner porthole to the past in the beauty of today\u2019s surroundings. But Taylor is not alone; the paintings give another authority to what is said and a chance to feel something more. The paintings are not simply innate skill. They are a spiritual power.<\/p>\n

again and again<\/em>

you are standing on the shore<\/em>
\n of an Iowa lake<\/em><\/p>\n

just today<\/em>
\n on the north bank of the Loire<\/em><\/p>\n

the mists lifts<\/em>
\n reveals the distant island<\/em>
\n with its chaos of shrubs<\/em>
\n and crooked trees<\/em><\/p>\n
