Humorous poetry

Welcome to my poetry site. Here you can read some of my poems (which have been variously described in newspapers and poetry journals as offbeat, quirky, satirical, pithily crisp, irreverent, striking, sharply satirical, deadpan, excellent humorous poetry), watch some of my performance poetry video clips, find out a bit more about me and read reviews of my poetry book "God’s face in your gazpacho", just published by Troubador. And indeed buy it.

(Oh, and here’s my official "usp":) Adam Taylor’s humorous poetry uncovers the fine detail of life, probing peoples’ foibles and poking things which take themselves a bit too seriously. Themes range from Messerschmitts to Messiahs, from mystics to psychics, from evil to evolution, from singles to primitive blobs, from Englishness to Jewishness, from Jewish gangsters to the mafia, from atonement to tea.

His original approach has appealed to a seasoned poetry audience as well as to those new to poetry. He comes at his subjects from an unusual angle and you never end up quite where you expect.
