Reviews
"Rich Follet's poetry is the poetry I want to be able to write,
brave beyond the meaning of the word, it's content is so real and
sharp that the meaning alone often takes my breath way, but that is
just the half of it. He speaks of love, loss, pain and humanity,
with words so beautiful they ache in your heart. He is the poet I
aspire to be. Please just read him."
Si Philbrook, poet
"human &c. by Rich Follett traces the harmonies of our human
experience. Words squeeze, seep, obtrude and collide like the
traumas and exudations they describe."
Geoffrey Gatza, author of "House of Forgetting"
"human &c. weighs in the hand while it gives the heart wings.
Filled with feathers, dreams and hope yet grounded in New England
granite, roots of oak and the miracle of Naked Ladies. Follett's
poems stretch back into the mythic, uplift and propel us into now
to give with an overview of the depth of &c. Not a mere throw
away three characters in the title but a sumptuous examination of
the etcetera of human experience. Through these poems we share a
buffet with Beowulf, we see ourselves in the warrior heart, recall
the longing for flight which resides in our bones, split the
mundane with the spin of a paper clip and tell us that healing is
possible.
These carefully considered words will glide you through the
complexity of our humanity, our connection to earth and air, remind
us that love is undeniable and hope buoys as we head into the
future towards an understanding that love conquers all. Rich
Follett's feather inspired griffonage will prompt you to celebrate
our shared DNA and rouse you to live your life with all your
humanity and &c."
