"In his Revealing Self in Pictures and Words, Tom Taylor (aka the marvelous Poet Spiel) has given us his magnum opus, a revelatory memoir unlike any other, brimming with breathtaking textual and explosive visual images. A son of the Great Plains, a farm boy already a budding artist, a maverick, and gay, we feel the excruciating strictures of the closeted 1940s. Taylor allows us entry to his beautifully rendered inner agonies and mirror-dancing pleasures. We are privy to his deepest secrets and grateful recipients of his lifetime accumulation of wisdom and advice. In gorgeous reproductions he shows us those first sketches of his cloistered farm world, and then like rings in a tree, we witness Taylor's growth as an artist. His vision is sometimes whimsical, sometimes realistic, and often wildly surrealistic as if Baudelaire and Rimbaud had painted as well as written. This book is for the coffee table and the ages." -Stephanie Dickinson. Author, Editor, Publisher._________________________ In his workplace, a new decision every day, this American artist and author follows his brush or his keyboard to wherever they dictate. Some days, he may skip a beat, or a few, to shoot off into territory he's not yet explored-try a new medium or change the spirit of his work from dark to enlightened, from decorative to heavy abstractions. No subject or style is off limits for him. Art has been Taylor's vehicle for expression of weighty feelings and the lifting of burdens. He uses art and art uses him. When life seems unbearable, he makes art about it. He finds his voice where those feelings might otherwise begin to stink and fester. At the heart of each of us lies a universal voice. And as private as it may seem, each time we re-discover it, we KNOW when we are there. BUT its rationale may seem frightening because it feels risky and unfamiliar-because we expend so little commitment in our lives to just allow it to express. But not everyone finds their voice so they echo the voice of others, no matter how small or large, how explicit or vague, how humane or inhumane.

Our American Cousin is a three-act play written by English playwright Tom Taylor. The play opened in London in 1858 but quickly made its way to the U.S. and premiered at Laura Keene¿s Theatre in New York City later that year. It remained popular in the U.S. and England for the next several decades. Its most notable claim to fame, however, is that it was the play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was watching on April 14, 1865 when he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, who used his knowledge of the script to shoot Lincoln during a more raucous scene.The play is a classic Victorian farce with a whole range of stereotyped characters, business, and many entrances and exits. The plot features a boorish but honest American cousin who travels to the aristocratic English countryside to claim his inheritance, and then quickly becomes swept up in the family¿s affairs. An inevitable rescue of the family¿s fortunes and of the various damsels in distress ensues.Our American Cousin was originally written as a farce for an English audience, with the laughs coming mostly at the expense of the naive American character. But after it moved to the U.S. it was eventually recast as a comedy where English caricatures like the pompous Lord Dundreary soon became the primary source of hilarity. This early version, published in 1869, contains fewer of that character¿s nonsensical adages, which soon came to be known as ¿Dundrearyisms,¿ and for which the play eventually gained much of its popular appeal.
