This volume contains Taylors poetry, rantings and musings from the 1960s.About the AuthorPartially from Wikiopedia: Taylor Mead 1923 - 2013. Taylor was born in Detroit in 1924. He first appeared in Ron Rices beat classic The Flower Thief (1960), in which he traipses with an elfin glee through a lost San Francisco of smoke-stuffed North Beach cafes... Film critic P. Adams Sitney called The Flower Thief the purest expression of the Beat sensibility in cinema. Village Voice film critic J. Hoberman called Mead the first underground movie star. In 1967 Taylor Mead played a part in the surrealistic play Desire Caught by the Tail by Pablo Picasso when it was set for the first time in France at a festival in Saint-Tropez, among others with Ultra Violet. In 1968 he starred in Andy Warhols Lonesome Cowboys, Tarzan and Jane, Regained Sort Of and San Diego Surf amongst other notable films. 1970 brought the notable Brand X: directed by Wynn Chamberlain and recently restored and is on tour across the world. In the mid-1970s, Gary Weis made some short films of Mead talking to his cat in the kitchen of his Ludlow Street apartment on Manhattans Lower East Side called Taylor Meads Cat. One film of Mead extemporizing on the virtues of constant television watching aired during the second season of Saturday Night Live. In 1995 Mead spent eight hours a day for a week at the Bon Temps bar, New Orleans, being documented in the photobooth costumed as a series of Warholian characters for Blake Nelson Boyds documentary Photobooth Trilogy. Characters included Superman and Mickey Mouse from Andy Warhols Myth series and references to Meads performances in Lonesome Cowboys and Nude Restaurant. While living on Ludlow Street, Mead read his poetry regularly at The Bowery Poetry Club. His last book of poems (published by Bowery Poetry Books) is called A Simple Country Girl. He was the subject of a documentary entitled Excavating Taylor Mead, which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2005. The film shows him engaging in his nightly habit of feeding stray cats in an East Village cemetery after bar-hopping, and features a cameo by Jim Jarmusch, in which Jarmusch explains that once, when Mead went to Europe, he enlisted Jarmuschs brother to feed the cemetery cats in Meads absence. Mead appeared in the final segment of Jarmuschs 2003 film Coffee and Cigarettes. He has been a beloved icon of the downtown New York art scene since the 60s. Taylor passed away in 2013.
