Recenzii
"Joe Taylors Pineapple is Chaucer for the Atomic Age: wise, bawdy, howlingly funny cultural/political commentary on the state of our stateand rhymed, of course! Aided by able muse Trixie, OBW (Our Beloved Writer) delivers a rollicking tale of mystery, mayhem, government shenanigans, lost daughters and writers revenge under a blistering New Mexico sun in a Los Alamos youll ever after consider the real Los Alamos. What more could a reader ask of OBW and his dratted characters? Not a damn thing. Follow line 23, chapter eight instructions to the T: Buy J Taylors books, theyll improve your head." -- Kat Meads, author of "For You", "Madam Lenin" & "Ladies: First".
Pineapple is a tour de force -- marvelously witty, filled with characters a reader is unlikely to forget, hilarious rhymes and turns of plot that kept me laughingsometimes hooting -- as I turned the pages. A novel in verse is a tall order, and Joe Taylor fills it to the brim. -- Susan Ludvigson, author of "Sweet Confluence" (New and Selected Poems) and "Trinity".

Notă biografică
Joe Taylor was born in Cincinnati and mysteriously whisked to Kentucky, where he spent a good deal of his more or less formative years. He chased unrequited love to Florida, where he worked as a pizza cook (for the nineteenth time) and where he finally had the sense to pursue a Ph.D. at Florida State University. He taught at several colleges before landing a tenure track job at Livingston University-now University of West Alabama. He and Tricia have lived there happily for over thirty years, being away from TV and sportball and being with a dozen stray dogs and three similar cats. He has directed Livingston Press . . . forever.
