Rose McTaylor was born and raised on the island of Barbados, West Indies. She received her formal education at the University of the West Indies where she gained a Bachelor of Arts in Literature, Linguistics and Sociology. My lifelong interest in literature has led to the inspiration for and creation of two books of poetry: Nostalgia & Musing about Life and Love and this volume. As you read, you may find vestiges of your life in the tapestries of the writings.
