Headstone in the Headlights is the second book of poetry authored by Rick Taylor. His first entitled Never Alone in a Cemetery was highly praised by members of the public in general and by residents of Shepherdstown, West Virginia, where he now resides with his wife and dog, a red lab that makes an appearance in several of his poems. Whereas the poetry of the first book made no mention of his bipolar condition, many of the poems in Headstone deal with this difficult subject directly. Rick became convinced while writing the second book, that his bipolar experiences should be dealt with openly on the oft chance that his descriptions might be helpful to others so afflicted. Rick is a published poet who discovered a yen for writing poetry after retirement. He has said that that at the age of seventy-seven, his decision to publish a volume of poetry has come just in time. His objective is to publish while he is still on the right side of the grass. His sense of humor has been cherished by many.
