Below are the five chapters of critical commentary Rich wrote as part of his doctoral thesis (completed February 2012).  They comment on a collection of poems he wrote called 'The See-Through Man' which was also part of the thesis.  Each chapter has been saved onto this page separately - just scroll down to find them.  Unfortunately, most of the poems referred to are still being sent to publishers, magazines and competitions, so can't yet be printed here...  but he hopes some of it, at least, makes sense.
