Lisa C. Taylor est une auteure dont la prose et la poésie ont été nominées pour le Pushcart Prize. Ses nouvelles et ses poèmes explorent les paysages intimes de l'expérience humaine, abordant souvent les thèmes de la connexion et de la solitude dans des cadres inattendus. Taylor possède un style unique qui capture avec délicatesse la complexité des émotions et la vie intérieure de ses personnages. Ses œuvres sont fréquemment saluées pour leur atmosphère évocatrice et leur perspective perspicace.
In Taylor's second collection of short stories, a woman locks a man in an airplane bathroom, two brothers rewrite their past, and strangers in an airport are thrown together through tragedy. Taylor explores confinement and expansion with both humor and angst, as characters of all ages and backgrounds are continually forced to redefine their personal landscapes.
In summer 2009, two award-winning poets, Lisa C. Taylor from Connecticut, and Geraldine Mills from Galway, came to a little cottage in Carna on the west coast of Ireland to forge a link between their lives. The Other Side of Longing celebrates this collaboration. With the Atlantic Ocean as the central metaphor, they explore themes of culture, folklore, flora and fauna through a series of poems of call and response, weaving in and out of their own internal and external landscapes. This collaboration of poems is infused with each other's experience in all its humanity, while retaining the individual voice and lyrical honesty.
