To say Tess Taylor is a poet is reductive. Indeed, the El Cerrito-based writer's (tess-taylor.com) work sprawls to include not just a poetry chapbook ('The Misremembered World'), poem collections in two books ('The Forage House' and 'Rift Zone'), a farm journal ('Work & Days') and the intriguing 'Last West,' a book released in conjunction with the New York Museum of Modern Art's 'Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures,' the first major solo exhibition of Lange's work in more than 50 years. 'Last West' incorporates images, historical archives, notebooks and oral histories with a pastiche of perspectives from Taylor and other artists, writers, scholars and critics.
