Sample Poems by Robert Cooperman
"The Ranch Wife is an elemental western tale, spare and subtle as the smell of snow coming. Yet it is also a profoundly human story about the distance between hearts and less-traveled crossroads. Robert Cooperman imbues it with a grace peculiar to poets of place, especially in the West, where the landscape heals more completely than any wounded heart, and where every day we seek the permission of the sky."--Ron Franscell
