Angel of Barbican High
Angel of Barbican High is a passionate and exquisitely written verse novel. It is a roller coaster ride of emotions and relationships, secrets and confrontation, where the possibilities swing between growing up, getting out of it and giving up. The book was shortlisted in the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards 2000. Taylor has also won various other awards, including First Prize in the ABC Radio National Poetry Competition in 1994.

I've discovered the 'new-look' UQP team to be dedicated, passionate and supportive in a way I have rarely experienced in my roughly fifteen years as a published writer. What has impressed me very much is that, lacking the obvious funds of large publishing houses, UQP uses lateral thinking and carefully chosen strategic actions to place its books and authors in the best possible position for success.
