BACK OF THE BOOK
Fallen from the heights of love
to the depths of madness,
she flees to the endless,
wailing moor.
There is nothing here but shadows,
a lantern – her white dress flickering in the wind.
There is nothing here but shadows,
a lantern – and you.
In your hands are her confessions.
Between your fingers, a book of prayers.
Drink the shadows with her –
and you will taste the fullness of light.
Remedy is a collection of poetry for those who refuse to be extinguished. It is a story told in four parts, each part mending a different kind of pain. Remedy will take you by the hand through the falling, severing, healing, and resurrecting – giving you the courage to begin again.
“Taylor’s voice soars to new heights. Remedy is soul-food,
scars and all” – Scott-Patrick Mitchell, author of Clean
