"In The Waving Gallery, Mervyn Taylor continues his poetic journey through the paces of the human predicament. The poems explore the painful and foolish initiations that stumble into an uncharted future where living life becomes a lesson learned early or late, but hopefully on time. Taylor has our undivided attention each time he jumpstarts the characters in his 'waving gallery', from Trinidad to Brooklyn. And they oblige with limbo-bended knees and seasoned back talk. It is Mervyn Taylor's pitch perfect language that makes these poems a welcome that never says goodbye." -Wesley Brown
