In Henry Taylors 1986 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poetry, The Flying Change, he writes the poems of a country squire -- immersing himself in the beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains, pleasures for which a real farmer has neither the time or inclination. An anti-modernist in pursuit of states of grace, Taylor revels in such things as a frisbee floating like milkweed, womens hands and the charming old songs in their illegible syllables. His affection for his region is faithful and unmixed, and produces sweet variety in his moderate pastoral.

For Frannie
Trying to say what I want you to know,
I am a spangled dancer, in bold tights
and sash, whose feet are nailed to the floor.
My hands and arms can weave their vague suggestions,
but not the leap toward your understanding.
Like a tree, stuck to the ground, I sway
and sigh; my fingers fall like leaves; and still
somehow you catch my drift, and dance around me.
