Taylor was a professor in the Division of Literature, Languages, and Philosophy. He began teaching at Kentucky State University in 1975 and received the Distinguished Professor Award in 1992.

The Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame was created to recognize Kentucky writers whose work reflects the character and culture of the Commonwealth, and to educate Kentuckians about the state’s rich literary heritage.
