Richard Tayson's poems, essays and reviews have appeared in more than 50 books, anthologies, journals and magazines in the United States, Germany, England, Australia, and Canada. The summer 2006 issue of Virginia Quarterly Review, devoted to the legacy of Whitman, contains his essay, "The Casualties of Walt Whitman." The winter 1998 issue of Prairie Schooner first published two of Tayson's poems, "Arrival" and "Crowning," which received that journal's Edward Stanley Award, and are included in The World Underneath. Tayson's poem "The '56 Chevy" appeared in Sleep: Bedside Reading, an art book which contains work by Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, Alice Walker, and Nan Goldin. The German translation of Tayson's co-authored first book of non-fiction, Look Up for Yes, appeared on bestseller lists in that country and was published in the U.S. by Viking-Penguin. Forthcoming work includes an essay in the anthology Diva Complex (2009, University of Wisconsin Press). Tayson teaches writing workshops for City University of New York and New School University.
