About Child of Saturday

Child of Saturday features eleven poems written in 2006-07 while Marta and I lived in Accra, Ghana. Poems from the collection have appeared in The Antigonish Review, The Dalhousie Review, and The New Chieftain Tongue.

Child of Saturday was released in November 2008. All profits from sales go towards the operational costs of One Ghana, One Voice.

You can view a Child of Saturday promotional flyer here, and read an interview with Emmanuel Sigauke of Munyori Poetry Journal in which we discuss both Child of Saturday and Ghanaian poetry here.

"Child of Saturday is a formidable addition to the young writer’s canon... Taylor is a careful architect of the moment, building word upon word and line upon line so that the purpose and structure of each poem is only revealed in the final syllables... Piece by piece, Taylor is seemingly building a most meaningful and respectable literary career."

"I can't usually read regular poetry. It makes my vision blur and / or my eyes cross. When I received Rob Taylor's travel poems I wasn't excited... But here's the thing. I liked them much much more than I thought I would. His beat... satisfies and intensifies the culture he is trying to translate, or rather, absorbs it. The poems are sincere and everyman."

- Laura McCoy, Broken Pencil

""Foreigner" and "The Cops in Hong Kong" are worth the cover price alone. splattered earth should particularly appeal to travellers, but it's a delightful read for any lover of unpretentious poetry."

- Leopold McGinnis, Red Fez
