Marilyn Boyle Taylor is a writer and interdisciplinary artist currently living in Ontario.
Marilyn Boyle Taylor is best known for Dream’s End, her first historical romance suspense novel. It was inspired by the Gray Lady of the Sea, Nantucket, where she was a year-round resident for a period of time, and, as is the myth, it never let go its hold upon her.
She now lives in Caledon and is a member of the League of Canadian Poets, the Canadian Authors Association and SOCAN as a lyricist. Her poetry, journalism, and songs have appeared in the Eastern Iowa Review, Hysteria, In the Hills, Biline, Fresh Voices, and Celebrating Canadian Women: Prose and Poetry About Women, among others.
Marilyn performed readings and interdisciplinary works at many venues, such as Music Gallery, Western Front, Literary Storefront, and The Rivoli, including a one woman show, ESSENTIA at the ARC gallery.
She is also the publisher of Pender Press.
Marilyn’s work is strongly influenced by natural environments, empathic bonds, and her experience of synesthesia. For Marilyn, numbers and letters create colours and when mixed into words and sequences create a visual on the page.
This experience of sensory overlap informed her performances of poetry and her artistic projects.
