About the author
Jack Taylor writes poetry partly for fun and partly for gifts to his large family of 4 Sisters and a Brother, 5 Children and 14 Grandchildren.. Some of these are immortalised in this anthology. His earlier book of poetry was eight years ago but so much has happened that another (much more whimsical) book is appropriate. His muse is primarily his Father Jack (honoured in the last poem of this book), and also his High School English Literature (and Latin) teacher Fr Tim Long OMI. Jack's Wife of 44 years Catherine Mary died of Alzheimer's Disease in 2014.
Lisa Sara Stansfield-Taylor is British, and left Lancashire after her Husband was killed crossing the road near her home in their tiny village in Yorkshire in 2015, She met Jack when they crossed paths on their separate and unconnected pilgrimages of grief in the Orkney and Shetland Islands. They married in 2016. Lisa's poetry is a mixture of lost love in England and mirth at the antics of her new-found Australian family.
