"Marginalia for a Natural History is a compilation of ghostly postcards from paradise.  Keith Taylor writes with such exquisite and elliptical beauty that the real world falls away as you read his poetry, and is replaced by a world even more real—more vivid, more breathtaking, more alive for having been captured in his lines.  These brief but substantial lyrics stand strong among the best writing that has taken place in conversation with nature.  They changed the way I see the land and the sky and the water.  This is a chapbook you will return to again and again."
