Burns Taylor

Hands Like Eyes: Poems, Songs and Fantasies Burns Taylor 1st edition

This collection of poems, songs, and fantasies plumbs the entire range and depth of human emotion as experienced by a blind poet--from the joy of love in "Surfside" to the ecstasy of despair in "Down at Jonah's," from the muted optimism of "Coming Into Autumn" to the abject pessimism of "The Way to Armageddon." The poet chronicles his tortuous trek along his own path--the path of least resistance sometimes, but eventually, in the end, a path toward a higher level of consciousness.
