Political Ideas of the Utopian Socialists
First Published in 1982. In this book, Taylor has selected for special attention the work of Saint-Simon and his disciples (the SaintSimonians), Owen, Fourier, Cabet, and Weitling - those thinkers who made the most important contributions to the development of early socialist theory. The author discusses the designation of 'utopian' which entered into the conventional vocabulary of the history of ideas, and is now used almost without question. This title argues that these thinkers were certainly utopian in the sense that they sought to describe the structure of an ideal future society.

Britain’s canals have a long and fascinating history. First established by the Romans, they expanded exponentially during the eighteenth century and, through providing links between major cities, were a key driver of the industrial revolution. However, with the development of speedier means of transport the canals were threatened with obsolescence. In this personal memoir of Trent Lock, Shardlow and the Erewash Canal, Keith Taylor gives us a real flavour of life on the water, through a mix of reminiscence, old photographs and thorough research of the colourful, resolute and innovative canal characters, from the early boat-builders through to the ‘navvies’ and the hardships they endured.

Enduring poems that distill hope from despair, love from sorrow, and courage from ambivalence.In this spare and elegant collection, distinguished poet Keith Taylor demonstrates his finest power of observation, watching the natural and human world go by. What Can the Matter Be? considers aging and death—of the self, of animals, of the earth—as well as place, and how rootedness in place allows a sturdy vantage point from which to see and reflect on the wider world. In poems and prose both grave and gleeful, Taylor controls the line and the lyric with experience and care. His curiosity and admiration for nature shine through in poems such as "Under Their Mortal Glory" and "The Gleaners," while "Responsibilities" and "That Room in Alberta" contrast the minutia of individually lived moments against the global, uncontrollable decay of nature and societies. And then there are moments of sheer delight, as in "Twenty-Three Nuns on Warren Road." Together, these nuanced and often surprising works urge empathy and call out in sorrow, love, and hope for the world.

THE ANCIENT MAGIC OF IRELAND LET LOOSE IN THE STRINGS OF A HARP.... The wilderness of oak, ash, and thorn that men call the Forest of Andred existed long before the Saxons entered Britain, or Caesar's legions pressed against Kentish resistance, and even before the first iron-using Celts set foot on the island. Here lives the clan of mandrake-the strange, gnarled vegetable folk. Here trods the unicorn, with blue vapor curling softly from nostrils soft as a woman's breast and dainty, precise hooves lethal as maces. Here are the sacred groves long abandoned, where Druids once fed the trees with human blood. Through this forest of sorcery and a society governed by the sword travels Felimid mac Fal, Bard of Erin, descendant of Druids and the Tuatha de Danann-the ancient faery race of Ireland, armed only with his harp and the fierce magical power of his poetry....

THE RETURN OF FELIMID MAC FAL This is the tale of one Felimid mac Fal: vagabond, roustabout, poet-and magician For Felimid is a poet of the old Irish blood: a fully trained bard of Erin. And his is the sort of poetry that can sing shy dryads out of their trees and dragons into slumber and juggle the fixed round of the seasons as a jester juggles knives. A man who saw the bard's pretty face and the harp on his back might think him a simple minstrel. That mistake could cost him his life. But a woman who saw the bard's pretty face might have other ideas...particularly if she is Gudrun Blackhair, the most notorious pirate on the northern sea "For lovers of magic, history, and/or swashbuckling adventure, Bard] is an excellent novel about an earthy and genuinely likeable Irish hero."-Science Fiction Review

FELIMID MAC FAL IS BACK . . . WITH THE BEAUTIFUL PIRATE GUDRUN BLACKHAIR AT HIS SIDE I am called Felimid mac Fal. I am a bard of the old blood, a lesser degree of Druid. Where I come from, bards have been known to sing armies to defeat or victory and kings off their thrones or on to them. Descended from the faery folk, the Tuatha de Danann, my line's been poets and harpers in Erin since the world was new, and magic's in our heart-marrow. She is called Gudrun Blackhair . . . as well as names a good deal less polite. She is the most dangerous pirate on the open seas, master of the enchanted ship Ormungandr, and the woman of my heart. If you wish to know more than that, ask the ballad, singers and gossip mongers at any tavern. Half of what you hear will be fact, half will be lies, and even I can no longer separate the two. Yet this story perhaps the strangest of them all, of shapeshifters and sorceresses and the sea-dwelling Children of Lir, is naught but the gods' own truth. . . . on my honor as a bard.

Like John the Baptist, my purpose is to point men women boy and girls to the Lord Jesus Christ. The breakthrough of strongholds, addictions, sexual immorality and sins deadly grip on many lives. Only through the blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is this salvation offered. I view myself as adventurous and a humorous type of guy. Born December 16,1987 in Memphis Tennessee. I am the eldest of my mother's four children. My hobbies are writing worship songs and exploring nature. The Lord inspired me to write, furthermore, it was my way of escape from my difficult life.
