Neuware - Silver Medal Winner, 2016 Independent Book Publishers Association Benjamin Franklin book awardsWinner of the Robert Frost Farm Prize and the String Poet PrizeIn the lyrical tradition of Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson, the finely crafted poems in Richard Meyer's debut collection Orbital Paths are brimming with wisdom and wit. Accessible and begging to be read out loud, these poems travel from the depths of outer space to the backyards and back roads of Minnesota with mature (and often playful) insights into nature, relationships, religion, sex, death, mythology, and more.Praise for Orbital Paths'Meyer is a siren. Just try to put this collection down.' Nicole Helget, author of Wonder at the Edge of the World, Stillwater, and The Summer of Ordinary Ways'Richard Meyer's poems are a delight to read.

David M. Katz, author of Stanzas on OzRichard Meyer inspired high school English and humanities students in southern Minnesota for thirty-two years while composing poetry of his own.

Critically acclaimed for his poems 'Fieldstone' (Robert Frost Farm Prize) and 'The Autumn Way' (String Poet Prize), Meyer has also received top honors in the Great River Shakespeare Festival sonnet contest.Orbital Paths is Richard Meyer's first book of collected poems.…
