James Clayton Taylor

I was born in Savannah, Georgia and I received a BS degree at Middle Tennessee State University. Savannah has been a gift of poetry from the 'muse gods' with intriguing history; world respected writer, Johnny Mercer, made his home here; lore, the "Waving Girl," immortalized in a statue, waiting for her love to sail back home, Victorian Architecture, and mystery, enhanced in the book of fiction, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” by John Berendt.   I've lived the life of a poet, and songwriter, the bohemian I suppose. I’ve written lyrics, songs, and poems for over 35 years. Influences include Jack Kerouac, Ernest Hemingway, Bob Dylan, Dylan Thomas, Lawrence Durrell, Virginia Wolf, and Sylvia Plath. I have been published in UselessKnowledge and Authors Den. I have written about my own passages through life in "One Man's Journey", which contains expressions of over thirty years of being a friend, companion, and observer in pursuit of my dreams. This poetry book comprises a view of Americana straight from the heart and soul in my journey as an American author.  I believe in changing people's lives one person at a time. I am happily married to my lovely wife, Juanita. Journey@fastmail.fm
