Voice On The Wind   
Poems by Robert Richman
ISBN 0-914278-72-X
$10.00 US

The first book by the Poetry Editor of The New Criterion, a poet-critic who wears his learning as lightly as he handles rhyme and meter.

“If you want, like me, poems based on honest observation and intent on getting at something like the truth, VOICE ON THE WIND is most definitely for you.”                                               —Donald Justice

“A skilled metricist, Richman produces an accomplished tension between meter and speech.”
—Publishers Weekly
