 Abbie Johnson Taylor, president of WyoPoets, is an avid and passionate about life. Reading her submission and listening to her poetry give us a view into her many interests and observations.
I’m the President of WyoPoets. I’m visually impaired and live in Sheridan, Wyoming, where for six years, I cared for my late husband, totally blind and partially paralyzed as a result of two strokes. Besides poetry, I write fiction and nonfiction. My novel, We Shall Overcome, was published in 2007 by iUniverse. My work has appeared in various journals and anthologies. My poetry collection, How to Build a Better Mousetrap: Recollections and Reflections of a Family Caregiver, was released in 2011 also by iUniverse. I’m currently working on a memoir about my experiences as a family caregiver. I’m inspired to write by many things: songs I hear on the radio, things I see with my limited vision while out walking, conversations I overhear, dreams I have, items in the news.

I love Abby's poetry collection. I use it to teach, occasionally. She is a master of irony, finding in the smallest unexpected juxtapositions a lesson, not for preaching, just observing-- a bubble passing, captured in verse-- there it was, there it went. 8/18/2013 04:58:45 am
Thanks, Tom, for your praise. I'm flattered that you use my poetry in your classroom and wish you the best of luck in your poetic and teaching endeavors. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
