Dzanc Community Poetry Series - Keith Taylor
Enjoy a reading with renowned local poet and author Keith Taylor.
Keith Taylor is originally from Western Canada, but has lived for the past 50 years in Michigan. For many years, he traveled widely and worked a number of jobs-- a camp-boy for a hunting outfitter in the Yukon, as a dishwasher in southern France, a housepainter in Indiana and Ireland, a freight handler, a teacher, a freelance writer, the co-host of a radio talk show, and as the night attendant at a pinball arcade in California—before settling in Ann Arbor, where he worked in bookstores for many years, then teaching writing at the University of Michigan. He has authored or edited 20 books and chapbooks.
In 2024 he published two books—All the Time You Want: Selected Poems, 1977 – 2017 with Dzanc Books, and What Can the Matter Be? with Wayne State University Press, which was named a 2025 Michigan Notable Book by the Library of Michigan and was a finalist for the Foreword/Indies Poetry Book of the Year. His poems, stories, reviews, essays and translations have appeared widely in North America and in Europe. Seven years ago he retired from the University of Michigan, where he taught Creative Writing for 20 years.
Taylor has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs. He was twice named Artist-in-Residence at Isle Royale National Park.
