Going Wrong

Author: Marilyn L. Taylor

Publisher: Parallel Press (2009)

Going Wrong is a carefully crafted collection of poems, many of them written in traditional forms, from Wisconsin's 2009–10 Poet Laureate, Marilyn L. Taylor. The poetry focuses mainly on the vagaries of human nature, especially as it departs from the predictable, the straight-and-narrow, the genteel. Instead, it tends to demonstrate clearly the many delights—and sometimes the undeniable outrageousness—of using the old forms in surprising new ways.
