Mentoring Poets: Susana H. Case & Mervyn Taylor

Merv is a Wiradjuri man and an Aboriginal Men’s Health District Coordinator. He has been working with the Gooboora Men’s Group for five years. In his role, Merv helps indigenous men holistically from a health and culture perspective, while supporting them on their own healing journey.Local heroes, community leaders, the mate that lives across the road. In a bid to tackle male suicide and the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, We Are Men is a community of real men talking about their real struggles. These men are opening up and discussing their mental health so other blokes can too, without the fear of shame or exclusion. It can be hard to ask for help but no man needs to struggle alone. Through our video stories, podcast, app (Onlyhuman) and highlighting of local services, we hope to encourage all men to chat about what they’re going through and seek help.

Mervyn Taylor, a Trinidad-born poet and longtime Brooklyn resident, has taught at Bronx Community College, The New School and in the New York City public school system. He is the author of six books of poetry, including The Waving Gallery (2014), and most recently, Voices Carry (2017). About his work, Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott said, “Taylor’s is a quiet voice. His poems possess an admirable degree of subtlety, and a tone that keeps him separate and unique.” Currently, he serves on the advisory board of Slapering Hol Press.
