  • On Robert Chrisman's poetry

    Laurence GoldsteinARTICLEThe Black Scholar2014

    Robert Chrisman did not feature himself as a poet, at least not to me during the years we did scholarly work together at the University of Michigan. I served as director of his PhD dissertation on Robert Hayden and then we coedited the volume Robert Hayden: Essays on the Poetry for the University of Michigan Press’s Under Discussion Series in 2001.
