Responsorials by Rich
Follett and Constance Stadler
From the Introduction
The complex relationship between
masculine and feminine, explored consistently throughout the history of poetry,
offers fertile ground for collaborative creation. In discussion of the inherent
possibilities we realized with astonishment that, in a milieu where
authenticity is venerated as a hallmark of quality, the lion’s share of published
poems exploring this duality have been written from a singular rather than a
dialogical perspective. The poems in this collection represent a resultant
ongoing effort to break free from the bonds of such limitations; specifically, this
is a collection of poetic dyads (responsorials) intended to reveal the myriad
facets of the masculine/feminine adventure.
