THREE BLURBS FOR OUTSIDE THE FRAMEBY MARILYN L. TAYLORLike favorite wines, the poems of Marilyn Taylor keep revealing new depths. First we delight in their freshness—the surprise of their wit and storytelling, the zest of their earthy humor. Then we notice how finely and patiently crafted they are, with little miracles of diction to fire the brain and charm the senses of her thankful reader. At last we come to the deeper mystery of Taylor’s achievement: how an intelligence so lively, supple, and wise can be wholly concentrated in the written word. At which point we scratch our heads wondering,How does she do that?And we drink again. —David Southward, author of Bachelor's Buttons and ApocryphaOutside the Frame, a new and selected collection of Marilyn Taylor’saccomplished, witty, and poignant poems, offers readers a wild ride through life in Aunt Eudora's Harlequin romances, crickets’ chorales, Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony, the demands of aging, and even a notice from the Sweet Chariot Funeral Parlor. Her voice is so upbeat that we almost forget she’s talking about how short our time is here, and her verbal high jinks are so much fun we nearly fail to notice the formidable formal skill at play in her villanelles, sestinas, rondeaus, and signature crowns of sonnets. Read it twice—once for her company through life, once just to marvel at her maker’s skill! —Robin Chapman, author of The Only Home We KnowWilliam Carlos Williams said, “If it ain’t a pleasure, it ain’t a poem.” I say if it ain’t a Marilyn L. Taylor poem, it ain’t the absolute pleasure it ought to be.New and Selected Poems from Marilyn Taylor. What a gift. What a way to discover a poet without whom contemporary American poetry would be a poorer place, indeed. What a pleasure to read poems that are like tasting the nuanced notes of a fine merlot, that are like experiencing the subtle harmony and counterpoint of a Chopin nocturne. What a pleasure to read poems that leave you refreshed and energized and smiling rather than beat up and exhausted and cursing under your breath. Marilyn Taylor’s poetry. What a pleasure. —J.R. Solanche, author most recently of Selected Poems 2002-2021

Marilyn L. Taylor writes both wickedly delightful and deeply compassionate poems. Known as one of America’s chief formalist poets, Taylor here gives us plenty of traditional forms: villanelle, sestina, sonnet, rhymed quatrains, a sapphic, and even—unexpectedly—a superb prose poem, “Dismay.” Elsewhere, she sends a tongue-in-cheek “Open Letter to Grownup Kids Who Call Home,” records a mother’s dying anger, admonishes a mother of beauty queens, as well as mothers who mistreat their children in public. Then, amazingly, she turns poking fun into a kind of quiet loving. I’ve read thousands of poetry chapbooks. From beginning to end, Step on a Crack is one of the finest three or four of them ever to cross my life. ~ Dick Allen, Connecticut State Poet Laureate (2010-2015) and author of Zen Master Poems
 Since 1994 when I first read Marilyn Taylor’s work, I continue to marvel at her deft use of form to delve into the human condition. She makes sonnets, villanelles, and sestinas look easy. They aren’t. She’s that good. She pulls us in up to our ankles and before we can take a breath, she’s got us swimming in deeper water, the harder truths. From the opening title poem, “Step on a Crack: a Charm” to the penultimate poem, “if, in October,” Taylor has framed a book that hits the heart and heartbreak of living. The book’s closing poem will take you into the deepest water of all. ~ Susan Elbe, author of The Map of What Happened
 In this terrific new collection, Marilyn Taylor tells us to go ahead, “Step on a crack, /bring your mother back.” She also brings us images like the piano tuner who “wrings concordance from the air”; two small boys, “the cuffs of their designer jeanlets rolled”; a child whose violin produces “only gravel, only scratches, no silk” Details like this show us what it’s like to be fully alive now, on this planet. With lively wit, word play, and inventive use of form, these poems are serious fun. Crack open this book, and dig in. Barbara Crooker, author of Les Fauves
