The first three full-length collections of poetry from Taylor Mali. In What Learning Leaves (2002, reprinted in 2013), “Taylor Mali speaks of the world of the teacher with power and grace.” Billy Collins says of The Last Time As We Are (2009) “Taylor Mali is tagged as a performance poet, but his poems are leavened by charm and wit and survive happily on the page.” Lastly, Bouquet of Red Flags (2014) is filled with lessons of wonder spiced with the “the deepest condiments.”
