Reviews

Rich Reardon has a creative, bold, rhythmic, poetic resonance. He is a strong voice in our group of poets. I was deeply touched when I heard him recite from his heart 'My Yellow Rose, ' a tour de force about the tragic loss of his lifetime love. This is a beautiful collection of his most evocative poems.
