About the Book
Rest Upon The Flood serves as beacons, each one weaving a narrative, a rhythm, or the mere silhouette of a tale that mirrors the odyssey we all navigate. Appel’s poems delve into the pivotal instances of our existence, uncovering the genuine experiences that shape real lives. Within these traversed routes, and etched into the very fabric of each verse, lies an enduring elegance—a bastion of solace to anchor your spirit and banish desolation.
About the Author
After a succession of meaningless jobs (busboy, waiter, camp counselor, etc.), Rich Appel worked in Grey's Ferry in South Philadelphia as a social worker and community organizer for five years, before studying Folklore and Mythology at UCLA. Rich has received three National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship Awards for Teachers, and worked as an eleventh and twelfth grade English teacher for over thirty years. He also was an adjunct at Delaware County Community College teaching freshman English. He has been writing poetry since undergraduate school at Penn State University, where he first met older, more accomplished writers who never laughed at the bad poetry he’d first written.
