"This is such a special book…It's the arc and the ark both I love in NOAH'S BOAT, as well as the generosity of the attention in the poems, and the partnership with the animal in reckoning the speaker's experience/consciousness in the natural world. It's really moving, really amazing." —David St. John, The Window "...I delight in how Follett's poetic skills enhance the love the reader feels for the subject critters...There are many gems in this book..."—Eileen Tabios, Galatea Resurrects.
"The term 'word artist' comes to mind because, in effect, these free verse productions are paintings of landscapes, animals, and human interactions...Delicate, multifaceted, and filled with powerful contrasts between human and animal perceptions, NOAH'S BOAT offers up an ark of poetic observation for any nature enthusiast who loves powerful nature- oriented poetry."—Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
