Tuesday, NOV 10th: GUEST SPEAKER, JIM TAYLOR

Jim was born in Wyoming, has lived in Colorado and Arizona but spent most of his life in Utah. He is a graduate of Utah State University where he studied philosophy and creative writing. During his last two years at Utah State University he served as Associate Editor and then Editor in Chief of USU’s literary magazine The Crucible. Jim studied under Kenneth Brewer who became Utah’s second poet laureate. He and Brewer remained close friends until Brewer’s death in 2006. Jim worked ten years in the book trade: five years as a manager at the Cosmic Aeroplane bookstore in Salt Lake City and another five years with Dream Garden Press.

During his many years in Salt Lake City, Jim was very active in the literary arts scene, read frequently for City Art (a 501c3 literary arts foundation) and several other venues, and served on the board of City Art for seven years. Jim’s publishing credits include poetry, essays, and technical publications. Catalyst magazine, now in its thirty-fourth year, has published Jim’s work from time to time and last year published his article on his years at the Cosmic Aeroplane bookstore as their cover feature. Jim was awarded first place for a feature length magazine article by the Utah Society of Professional Journalists for that article.
