from Yusef Komunyaaka’s Foreword:
“If beauty resides in truth, then there are moments of severe beauty and tantalizing energy in Richard Jeffrey Newman’s The Silence of Men.…His poetry dares us, as men, as human beings, to share what we have experienced and imagined—the good and the bad.…[T]he speaker in this collection suggests that we are responsible for what we know, for what we’ve witnessed and dreamt, and for what we don’t say to ourselves and each other.…The Silence of Men is daring: there’s a moral gesture at the heart of this collection, but the poetry isn’t moralistic or didactic.”
